Last night didn’t go the way we hoped, and we came up short.

I want to thank each and every one of you for the support you have shown
over the years. I never even considered running for office until Trump was
elected. To me, that was for people who were more polished – who had more
perfect lives. People of a certain pedigree.

But someone close to me said, “as a woman, if you wait your turn, you
won’t get one.”

And what I found out over the last 6 years is that by and large it's
true—there aren't a lot of people in Congress who are single moms; there
aren’t many of us who live paycheck to paycheck; who go to the grocery
store and understand how much a pack of bologna costs.

Americans are hungry for leaders who break the mold. We want honest
leaders who are willing to call things like they see them. We want elected
officials who will deliver truth to power and exact real accountability
from big corporations and government bureaucrats. We want leaders who
demand better from both parties – who want PROGRESS, not partisanship.
Leaders whose bottom line is people, not profits.

That's why WE were able to turn heads in this campaign and make the people
in power listen.

Let's be honest: I think all of us can agree, our government isn't working
well for us.

So many of those in power are too interested in helping other powerful
people than paying attention to the needs of everyday people. They are
more interested in BEING an elected official than actually DOING anything
to fix the problems everyday people face.

It's why billionaires fought so hard to keep me out of the Senate.

Special interests and the ultra wealthy like politics as it is today
because they control the politicians. And, like we’ve seen in this
campaign, they spend millions to defeat someone who will dilute their
influence and disrupt the status quo. Because of you, we had the
establishment running scared – withstanding 3 to 1 in TV spending, an
onslaught of billionaires spending millions peddling lies, and our
opponents spending more to boost the Republican than promoting his own
campaign.

I've met so many people over the course of this race who tell me that they
feel like their voices aren’t being heard by those who have the power.
I’ll never stop fighting for all of those people.

Thank you, thank you – from the bottom of my heart.
