Wow.
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! As a Canadian worried about global issues, I must say yesterday's election results made me feel better. I really think people like your husband will help put your country on a positive course. No if only my country could do the same change;)

Wishing I lived in your state right now. Maybe Chris can have a trickle down effect to California. Ali, your hair cut is super flattering. Hope you can take some naps when you come down from your high. Wishing you and your family all the best.
