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 Chris and Ali! I thought of you all night last night. . . of course, I couldn't stay up late enough to see the results on your side of the country.
And all this is renewing my spirit and reminds me that I actually do get to do something good- when I'm allowed to do my job. I needed that reminder these days.

Congratulations!! I thought of Chris when I went to vote - living in PA, I was no help to him, except through the power of prayer and positive thought. I cannot wait to see how things go for him - I wish you and your family every success and much joy on this grand adventure.
