Names may be spelled incorrectly. Hi everybody. Thank you so, so much. I appreciate you all being here. I mean, my heart is so full because I know how hard so many in this state worked. We still have a lot of work to do, there’s no question about that.

That’s the number of phone calls that our volunteers made in the last year. 100,000. That’s the number of doors that Team Fischer walked and knocked this campaign season. Well over 100,000. […]

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 […]

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.

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.
