Campaign Speech – Aug. 9, 2018
August 9, 2018
Hi. Everybody! So good to see you. What a gorgeous day at the State Fair and great to see so many good friends from labor here. I'll just hop right to it. I’m Abby Finkenauer and I'm running for Congress, because this is personal. I grew up a daughter of a union pipe fitter/welder and my mom just retired from the Dubuque Community School District in February. Actually when she decided to retire, I looked at her and said, “Mom, you're retiring because you just want to spend time with […]

I don't have much voice left, but hello, Nevada! You know I always start everything off with a certain rally, so I know most of you know it and it goes like this: Ain't no party like the Democratic Party, because the Democratic Party don't stop. Woo! Well, I have to say we voted and we won and we did all of this together. You know what—it was a really hard-fought campaign and I have to tell you that I just spoke with Senator Heller and he was so gracious […]

Thank you! And thank you to the women who are leading Massachusetts! When I first ran for the Senate six years ago, I asked you to take a chance on someone who had never even run for office before. You took that chance. You sent me into the fight. And tonight you told me to stay in the fight. I’m deeply grateful, and I promise I will never stop working my heart out for you—never. It’s been a tough two years. But together, we have marched. Together, we have run. […]

Concession Speech – Nov. 6, 2018
November 6, 2018
I wanted to come down, obviously, and say a few words about what's happened today and how the future is brighter than we all think it right now—it is. We had some good results tonight. The Democrats took the House of Representatives. We have governors that are Democrats now in both Illinois and Kansas. So there were some bright spots. Obviously we fell short and that's disappointing. Not for me, but what I feel the most pain about tonight are all of the people who for the first time as […]

Thank you, all of you. What a night, huh? Let me tell you first off how incredibly proud I am of the team that we put on the field. All our Dem-NPL candidates and the wonderful legislative candidates I that met. We offered an alternative. In many cases we are hopeful that that alternative will be picked. In my case it is not. In my case, it’s time to come back home to North Dakota, continue our work for the state of North Dakota, and continue our work for the […]

Good evening, everyone. Thank you so much for being here tonight. I spoke to Congresswoman McSally this evening and I’m grateful for her service. We both ran for the Senate for the same reason – because we want what's best for Arizona and for our country. I’m so honored to be here tonight with Arizona veterans — the brave men and women who have worn our country’s uniform. Today, and every day, we honor their service and sacrifice. They’ve given everything to protect our freedoms and our democracy, and it’s […]

TODAY AND ALL THROUGH THIS CAMPAIGN, WE HAVE VISITED PARTY OFFICE AND CANDIDATE FIELD OFFICES AND EVERY TIME, THERE WAS SO MANY OF YOU THAT WERE CALLING OR PREPARING TO KNOCK OR DOING SOMETHING TO ORGANIZE AND GET OUT THAT VOTE. AND AGAIN, I THINK YOU FOR THAT. BECAUSE OF THAT, NO MATTER THE RESULTS OF THIS RACE, WE ALL WON TONIGHT. AS YOU KNOW, I CAME FROM VERY HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, AND I OFTEN FOUND MYSELF AT A DISADVANTAGE. AND FOR THE LONGEST TIME, I LET THAT GET ME DOWN. […]

Wow. [cheers and applause] I guess we will have to fix the damn roads now, right? [cheers and applause] Thank you. Thank you, Michigan. I am incredibly, incredibly humbled that you put your trust in me to be your next governor. [cheers and applause] Early results appear to be a record turnout. [cheers and applause] So this victory belongs to you, right? We may have all gone to the polls for very different reasons, but today we as Michiganders came out because we all love this state, and because we […]

Didn’t Jacob do a great job with that introduction? Let's give Jacob Burris a round of applause. I'm so delighted to be here with all of you tonight. I want to acknowledge a couple of people that I know that are here. Governor Barbara Roberts, where are you? I don't think I have to tell anybody that she was the first woman governor in this great state of Oregon. I like to say I'm standing on the shoulders of giants, and I don't know if Governor Ted Kulongoski’s here either, […]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. YOU ARE WONDERFUL. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY THE VERY BEST. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I JUST- I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK. SO MUCH HARD WORK OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. YOU HAVE JUST BEEN INCREDIBLE. I DID GET INTO THIS RACE BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE POLICIES OF THE TRUNK ADMINISTRATION HAD MADE THEIR WAY TO NEW HAMPSHIRE. YOU KNOW, OUR CAMPAIGN GAVE VOICE TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GRANITE STATERS WHO AGREE. YOU ARE WONDERFUL. […]
