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 […]

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.

Concession Speech - Nov. 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, […]

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, […]

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 […]
