I want to congratulate Congressman Pappas on a hard-fought victory and wish him well as he serves our nation and our state.

Now that the campaign is behind us, I hope that Congress gets to work. Small businesses need critical relief, middle class families need economic opportunity and our first responders need our support.

I am grateful to all of my supporters, whose enthusiasm energized me every day on the campaign trail and allowed us to run a strong race that presented the voters with a clear choice.

From day one, this race has always been about standing with those who feel forgotten by Washington politicians, whether it’s our law enforcement community or middle-class families trying to make ends meet.

I will never stop fighting for them or our Live Free or Die values.

Thank you to every person on the campaign trail I met, I’ll never forget you.
