Wow. Wow. Wow. That's all I can say.
Amazing. Wonderful. Awesome. Ok, there's a couple more words.
Thank you for all the kind & enthusiastic comments and well wishes.
This is such a huge deal. Being a political newcomer and beating an incumbent is really tough. Chris worked so very long and hard for this with the support of such an amazing staff - I am so proud of him and all the people who helped make this a reality. And I am even more excited about the work that he will be beginning now - such an amazing opportunity to do good.
Today we are taking a deep breath. We are celebrating. We are planning. We are smiling.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Woo Hoo! Congrats to Chris (and to you too Ali). I know it's going to be great and he's going to do a great job. Politics is a drug, as you'll soon find out, you get addicted quick, but it's a good drug. Can't wait to hear all about all the good stuff Chris is doing for Oregon! Congratulations again to all the people who worked so hard to see it through to fruition!
