FIRST, THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY, MY HUSBAND BRYAN, AND MY KIDS.  I KNOW IT’S BEEN A GRUELING SUMMER, AND I ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT HAVE MADE IT THROUGH WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT!  SO THANK YOU!  I LOVE YOU.

THANK YOU TO MY SMALL BUT MIGHTY CAMPAIGN TEAM.  WHAT WE LACKED IN NUMBERS, WE MADE UP FOR WITH HEART, DEDICATION, AND HARD WORK!  YOU ALL MADE ME VERY PROUD!  THANK YOU!!!

TONIGHT WE MAY HAVE COME UP SHORT, BUT WE WON IN SO MANY OTHER WAYS!  

WE RAN A CLEAN CAMPAIGN, WE STUCK TO OUR MESSAGE, WE DISCUSSED THE ISSUES AND NOT PERSONAL SKELETONS.  FOR THIS, WE CAN AND SHOULD HOLD OUR HEADS UP VERY HIGH. 

REGARDLESS THE OUTCOME TONIGHT, WE PUT TOM QUINN ON NOTICE THAT HE CAN NO LONGER SKATE BY.  WE LET HIM KNOW THAT WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION.  AND WE LET HIM KNOW THAT HIS BEST IS JUST SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

I HAVE LEARNED A LOT DURING THIS CAMPAIGN.  I’VE LEARNED THAT POLITICS CAN GET NASTY … BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO.  WE PROVED THAT!  AND I’M VERY PROUD OF THAT!

SO, THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT!  IT MEANS THE WORLD!

TONIGHT, WE’LL EAT AND DRINK.  TOMORROW WE’LL REST AND RELAX.

AND WHO KNOWS WHAT LIES AROUND THE CORNER?!

GOOD NIGHT, AND GOD BLESS!
