Bush Institute Briefing

“This month, our nation displayed one of its greatest strengths: our ability to hold peaceful elections. We saw Americans volunteer to be poll workers and election officials work tirelessly to ensure all votes were counted. We saw one side declared the winner and the other graciously concede. And as in every election, some are happy with and others disappointed by the results. Regardless of where you fall, it’s important to remember that our country is made up of people with differing viewpoints – a reminder that disagreement and debate, along with elections, are essential to our democracy.” 
– David J. Kramer, Executive Director of the Bush Institute
