Concession Speech - Nov. 2, 2010
November 2, 2010
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 all are great. I look out at this sea of people and I cannot think of a better group of people that I would rather spend this night with. I promise you. It has been an incredible journey and I am so bless to have made it, but more than anything in this world you all have to know that I am so bless to have made it with the people who are in this room. 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 […]

Concession Speech - Nov. 4, 2014
November 4, 2014
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 […]

Michelle Nunn Concedes in Georgia State Senate Race- Nov. 4, 2014
November 4, 2014
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 […]

Concession Speech - Nov. 4, 2014
November 4, 2014
Thank you all. Thirteen months ago we started an improbable, incredible journey together. Soon after that, I hung a poster on the wall of my campaign office that has always had special meaning to me. It's a poster of Coach Lombardi, with my favorite quote of his, and it reads, it's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up. Tonight, Wisconsin re-elected Governor Walker, and for many of us, it feels a bit like getting knocked down. But if I learned anything over the last 13 months, […]

U.S. Senate race concession speech - Nov. 4, 2014
November 4, 2014
Thank you all very much for coming out here to be with me tonight. A few minutes ago I called senator Merkley and I congratulated him on his re-election to the U.S. Senate, and I wish him well, because I wish America well. The time has come to unite and to work together to solve the great challenges of our country, though I obviously hoped that he had been calling me. I’m still very proud of our campaign. I’m proud of the fact that we ran a race on principles, […]

Concession Speech for 2014 Senate Race - Nov. 4, 2014
November 4, 2014
Grimes concedes to Sen. Mitch McConnell in the 2014 U.S. Senate race. Thank you all very, very much. Well, good evening. Good evening. Sixteen months ago we began a journey, a journey to send a message that Washington just isn’t working for Kentucky, that we want to actually put the people of this state first instead of partisan politics. Along that journey, we showed this nation what the Commonwealth is truly capable of. Breaking records here in this state with our fundraising, leading the nation with our work to build […]
