We did it, friend – and from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. It means so much to me that you joined this team and fought so hard. Because of you, and with 63% of the vote, we've kept this seat blue and protected our House majority. 

What we've accomplished together, friend, doesn't just make me proud – it has deeply moved me. Folks like you opened and read emails like this, donated what you could, shared our message, talked to your friends and family. And as a result? We've taken a big step forward in achieving the progress this country deserves. 

2020 was a year of challenges the likes of which we hadn't faced before. There was so much at stake in this election, so much that we care about: ending the pandemic, combatting climate change, affordable health care, and keeping true to America's promise. That’s what we were fighting for.

But even when the world felt like it was upside down, you had my back – you stood up for what was right, no matter the cost. You helped protect our democracy. And for that, I’m so grateful. 

Our work to achieve our shared Democratic values will continue because of you. I'm so honored to serve the district, the people – our home –  for another term. 

Thank you, so so much. 

Yours truly,

Congresswoman Val Demings
