Dear Friends,
By Chellie on November 5, 2008 5:15 PM
Thank you! Today marks an incredible new era in our country -- full of hope and energy. I am thrilled and honored that you have given me the opportunity to be a part of that new direction.
Thank you for all you did in this campaign. I am grateful to all of you who volunteered over the weeks and months, to my team, and everyone in the First District who has honored me with their support.
I know you expect big things. You want to see a return to an economy that works for all of us, you want energy self-sufficiency, affordable quality health care, and an end to the war in Iraq. There are no simple solutions but I know that, working together, we can get our country back on track and accomplish great things.
I do believe that when the voters say they want change, that's the easiest time to make change happen. None of us are feeling complacent -- we want to see significant progress. I can't wait to arrive in Washington and begin working with the Obama Administration and my Congressional colleagues to push through the programs that will get our country back on the right track.
I began this race in March of 2007. For 21 months now, you have been with me -- telling me your stories and sharing your perspective. I'll carry these things with me to Washington.
We did this together, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Stay in touch.
All my best,
