Last night, the election didn't go the way we wanted. I was hopeful we could finally put the madness of Donald Trump behind us, but that's not what the votes said.
I remain cautiously hopeful that when all of the votes are counted, Democrats will win a majority in the House. As I've said for the past two years, the House is a game of inches, and with your help, we've been able to assist more than 50 House candidates who will be the bedrock of our majority if we prevail.
Regardless of whether I'm in the minority or the majority in January, I will fight for Northern Virginia's values and against Donald Trump's far-right agenda. I was re-elected to serve the 11th District in Congress last night to do that, and it's the honor of my lifetime. Together, I will continue fighting for what's important: protecting democracy here and abroad, standing up for a woman's right to choose, and making sure the American economy works for everyone.
I urge you not to despair, and don't agonize, organize.
Yours in Service,
Gerry
