Congratulations!!!! I stayed up as late as possible to see what happened. You were right.....things are going to change!

Yay!! :) Congratulations! Enjoy the work -- it's good for Oregon, good for the USA.

Congratulations to you and Chris! What wonderful news! I confess I did check my local results first, but you guys were on my mind all evening. So glad it turned out this way - Chris totally deserves it.

whoo hooo :) sooo excited for you 3 :)
democratic sweep acrossthe country..... things are a changing :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :)

So wonderful. Congrats from Canada (just to add to your global well wishes). I've worked within local & provincial politics for years in my previous life; and it is so awesome (and rare) to see a team in it for the right reasons- keep your dream alive...and send some of those good liberal vibes up here will ya?

Being comment like number 150 I'm not sure you'll even make it all the way down read this before your eyes start crossing, but I wanted to let you know in the midst of my craziness at the station last night, I was excited to check in for updates on Chris.
So happy for you guys :)
And yes, the hair? New? Love it!

OH MY GOSH Ali! This is so exciting!!! As others have said, what an amazing ride is to come. It is so inspiring that Chris, as a person who has followed his dreams and his true sense of the right thing, is the winner.
And, I have to say, that you two are very inspirational parents to Simon--what amazing examples he has!

Congratulations from a pretty serious republican! It's hard not to be happy for a man with such passion. I love watching passion in action! I mean, door to door, time and time again...Standing in the rain for something you so strongly believe in...I can't even imagine! Keep the passion burning! Make this world a better place, starting with Oregon! That is, after you spend time celebrating all the hard work and SAVORING the MOMENT!

ANOTHER AMAZING DEM IN OFFICE!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND CHRIS!!!!

Congratulations!!!!

WOW!!! I checked this blog a couple times was really pulling for Chris. I am a very happy democrat today. We really need to cultivate our local politicians as they eventually become our national representatives. Congrats to you and Chris (and Simon)!

Ali, I'm so happy for your family....CONGRATS to CHRIS!!!!! "I'm doing my democrat happy dance!!!"

Wow! Congratulations, Ali and Chris!
