Succession Speech- May 7, 2017
May 7, 2017
Marine Le Pen, after losing in the second round of the French election to Emmanuel Macron, delivered her concession speech. My dear compatriots, from abroad, and at home. The French have chosen a new President of the Republic, and they voted for continuity. I called Mr. Macron to congratulate him on his election because I have the interest of the country at heart. And I suggested, I hoped, he would succeed. I would like to thank the 11 million French who voted for me, as well as the activists who […]

November 2, 2010
You know I want to thank so many people tonight and I will tell you that I just got off the phone with Governor Elect Mary Fallin. I pledged to her my support and offered that at any time if there was any opportunity that I could share or help or do whatever we could do to help move Oklahoma forward that she could count on me. Just as the people of Oklahoma have counted on me for almost 30 years in public service. I told you in January of […]

You are a hard-working, good looking crowd. I love you, too. I love the people of North Carolina. It’s not the outcome that we wanted, but I have zero regrets.

Serious, serious issues have been put out there and you have worked very hard. I want to thank my husband, who […]

Thank you. Thank you all very much. Thank you so much. A very rowdy group. Thank you, my friends. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so very much for being here. I love you all, too. Last night I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans.

Diane Denish's concession speech from the 2010 gubernatorial election in New Mexico. How about Brian Colon? I couldn’t have asked for a better running mate. He was a great infusion of energy on the campaign trail and he truly cares about the people of New Mexico. He has a great future ahead of him! I want to thank my family for standing with me and allowing me to fight this fight. I want to thank Ted F. Martinez, my dear friend who had double bypass surgery just a few weeks […]

June 7, 2008
Thank you so much. Thank you all. Well, this isn't exactly the party I'd planned, but I sure like the company. I want to start today by saying how grateful I am to all of you - to everyone who poured your hearts and your hopes into this campaign, who drove for miles and lined the streets waving homemade signs, who scrimped and saved to raise money, who knocked on doors and made calls, who talked and sometimes argued with your friends and neighbors, who emailed and contributed online, who […]

You are an incredible group of people. Today Arkansas people have spoken, and […]

Concession Speech - Nov. 18, 2010
November 18, 2010
Good morning. Thanks for joining me with my family and friends and supporters this morning. Elections give people the power to elect their representatives, and have their voices heard. Last night, we finally learned what the voters of the 8th district had to say. Though we wish the outcome had been slightly different, no matter how narrow the margin, whether it is 1 vote, 1,000 or in this case 291, we must all respect the outcome. That's why I ask everyone to join me in recognizing Joe Walsh as the […]

The genius and the beauty of our democracy is that ultimately the power rests with the people. Even when the results don't go the way that we want them to. We celebrate the fact that we live in a country in which the people get to decide their elected leaders. And tonight, the people of Texas have spoken. Just a few moments ago, I called General Abbot, to congratulate him on being elected Governor of this incredible state that we call home. And I wished him the very best, because […]

Thank y'all so much. I just talked to David Perdue and I offered him my very great congratulations, as Georgia's next US Senator. I want to thank both David Perdue and I want to thank Amanda Swafford for their commitment to public service, and for a very spirited campaign. At our best, we not only accept the electoral results, but we practice the art of bridge building, and reconciliation. I offered David my strongest possible support, as he works to unite Georgia, and to build bridges across party lines and […]
