I first want to thank my incredible husband, John, and our daughter Abigail, who’ve been with me through all of this. I want to thank John for going on that entire get out the vote tour, for standing and giving speeches, while his wife’s face was blown up on the side of the bus, that was pretty good. I want to thank our great campaign staff, including Kieran, Jake, Annie, Ben, Justin, Bridget, Jane, and the whole team. I want to thank—(applause)—I want to thank my hardworking Senate office in […]

November 6, 2024
Good afternoon, thanks for being here. It’s been a long night and day. I want start with a quick update on the Senate race. We obviously had a very, very late night here. There are still ballots being processed, but as things stand right now, we are very confident that when the votes are counted, we will be the senator-elect for the state of Michigan. We currently have a 19,000 vote lead, approximately, with very few ballots left to be counted, and we hope to have official results by the […]

November 5, 2024
Well, first of all, to Alex, you know, she forgot to tell you one important part of that story. She’s the one who got on the bus after I had to race after her first-grade friends and said well, we’ve got to wait for a certain 40-year-old to come across the park. Well, I have to say, first of all, tonight, I must give credit to the absolutely unfailing God that I serve. One whose grace has been sufficient at every turn. I don’t have enough words to say thank […]

Hello, Massachusetts! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Let’s give an especially big congratulations to every Massachusetts Democrat who won their race tonight.

Oh my gosh, Tommy, thank you for hosting. Everyone’s shown up today, it’s a good day. I’m looking out on the wall back there, in the House of Labor, one of the Houses of Labor, for sure. Our members are our strength, our children are our future, our retirees are our foundation. We can say that. Our families are our strength, our children are our future, our parents and grandparents, our ancestors are our foundation. That holds no matter what you say.

Senate Concession Speech - Nov. 5, 2024
November 5, 2024
Good evening, everyone. I’ve decided not to read any speech tonight and speak from my heart. As you all know, the results that we just saw right now are not the results that we were expecting. But I want to start by first thanking my incredible family. My incredible family that has put up with me traveling non-stop all around the state. My sisters, who were canvassing and staffing all the polling sites, my nieces, my nibling, my mother—hi, mom. You know, she’s one of the reasons why I decided […]

November 5, 2024
I stand here tonight humbled and with a heart filled with gratitude to “God” AND the “people of Delaware” for the trust you have placed in me. Our journey has been paved with historic high hills and even a violent valley on January 6th, but I’m here to tell you Delaware, tonight, “Victory is ours” and the Diamond state is shining bright! Even in these challenging — and yes, stressful times, I have seen the “greatness” of the First State because of the “goodness” of her people. I’ve seen it […]

Thank you. Thank you. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. When I announced this campaign, I said that we were one election away from becoming Massachusetts, well guess what? Not on my watch. What an incredible victory, and it’s not my victory, it’s our victory. I want to thank every single one of you who are here, I want to thank everyone who’s watching at home. You know, all the people that went out and worked for me, you know, stood at the polls, talked […]

Okay, you know the saying goes, let’s go, let’s go. I’ll tell you, absolutely, absolutely. Tonight, I want to, first of all, thank all of you.
