Victory in Connecticut for Jim Himes
On Election Night, Jim Himes won his race for Connecticut's 4th Congressional District. With his victory, the last remaining Republican congressman in New England was unseated, bringing us one big step closer to a progressive America. Thanks to everyone for supporting him! Here's what Congressman-Elect Himes had to say:
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for you today.
Last night, we made history together. I could not be prouder or more honored to be joining President-Elect Barack Obama in Washington D.C. this January to work to restore the American Dream for our families at home and to restore the prestige of America abroad.
We are living in truly historic times -- and we are facing truly historic challenges. I could not have reached this point without your support, and I will need your support in the coming weeks and months as our new President and the new Congress work together to address the monumental tasks ahead of us. I have no doubt that we will be able to tackle these big challenges, because that is what we as Americans have always done.
But today, as we rest up from the long campaign and gear up for what lies ahead, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for pounding the pavement, knocking on doors, hitting the phones, and spreading the word. Thank you for powering our campaign with your contributions, for your thoughts, for your ideas, and for inspiring me on the campaign trail every day. And thank you most of all for entrusting me with your vote and for joining me on the journey we've just completed -- and the journey yet to come.
Sincerely,
Jim
