Tags: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.

Congrats!!! I was following this race as closely as the races in my homestate of Missouri -- ha! It's nice to see all your hard work paying off -- and to see such a hardworking, genuine person entering into our political system. There aren't enough of them out there. Congrats again!
And funny, I thought the top picture in your post was of Chris in a school -- until I noticed the Harp coaster on the wall behind him! HA!
