My opponent has finally conceded, and I’m eager to put this race behind us, roll up my sleeves, and get back to work in the Senate.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you to the people of Wisconsin for putting their trust in me to continue to be their fighter in Washington, and thank you to everyone who has supported this campaign from afar.
The way we won this race is the way I have always approached the job: we did everything — everywhere — all at once.
Our campaign traveled all over our great state and really listened to people — and I worked day in and out to deliver progress on the issues that matter most to people across our state. And in turn, Wisconsinites showed up for me.
Folks like the farmers and the dairy industry who I’ve fought alongside, earning the endorsement of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau. The workers on foundry floors who are getting more business because of my Made in America laws. The LGBTQ+ families who saw through the nasty attacks ads and knew that I had their back to live their authentic lives free from hate and discrimination. And the women who had their rights stripped away and saw me on the frontlines fighting for their freedoms.
While I am overjoyed at our victory, I know the results of the presidential race weren’t what we hoped for. While we worked our hearts out to elect Kamala Harris, I recognize that the people of Wisconsin chose President Trump.
Nevertheless, our work is not over yet, and we cannot give up.
I will always fight for Wisconsin. That means working with President Trump to deliver for our state, and standing up to him when he does not have our best interests at heart. Because the heart of why I got into public service is to get things done, and make life better for the people I represent.
We all deserve a country with less vitriol, less division, less hatred, and more truth. Because it’s time we come together and tackle the problems that are actually facing working people and communities across our state. It’s time we put the politics of division behind us.
It’s time we lower costs for working families, deliver more affordable health care, continue our fight for a Made in Wisconsin economy, and redouble our effort to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act so every woman has the same rights and freedoms regardless of their state, county, or zip code.
And it’s time we follow our state motto and continue our march: Forward.
But I can’t do this work alone, so I want to end by thanking everyone who made this victory possible:
My talented campaign team who worked their hearts out, all in an effort to reach as many voters as we could.
Each individual who volunteered for this campaign. Our state has the most dedicated volunteers anywhere in the country. We could not have done this without the tens of thousands of Wisconsinites who knocked on doors and made phone calls to win this race.
Supporters like you who stood by my side every step of the way — kept up with our campaign updates, made sure your family and friends had a plan to vote, and chipped in your hard-earned dollars when you could. I couldn’t have done this without you.
And to the people of Wisconsin: thank you for putting your trust in me as your United States Senator. Let’s get to work!
Forward,
Tammy
