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.

I just got a chance to check whether Chris won, and im crying happy tears!
Congrats x 100000! I'm so happy for him and you and simon and the whole district! Other than getting majority in washington, his victory is sure to be the start of something great :)(our newcomer just barely lost with 48%) Even though im 2000 miles away, i still think thats very awesome:)
