“For the last nine months I have had the greatest honor of participating in our Republican form of government. I have met thousands of voters, knocked on countless doors, and worked tirelessly with my team in this fight for Liberty and conservative values. Although the results were not what many of us had hoped for, I am so grateful for the tireless work of dozens of dedicated volunteers, donors, and supporters who worked long hours and gave of themselves without end. These patriots are the reason the American promise means something.
I want to congratulate Rep. Lori McCann on her victory last night. As the Republican nominee she will have my vote in November and I encourage each of you to join me in giving her that, we cannot afford the alternative. A strong majority of our district (and state) asked for conservative change, now it is time for elected officials to deliver that!
God Bless each of you and God Bless this wonderful nation of ours.”
