Thank you, folks.
I am so proud to become your next United States Senator.
Tonight, your message is loud and clear — it’s time to put the poisonous politics of this era behind us and come together to move forward.
As it looks now, Colorado will have the highest voter turnout of any state in any election in our nation’s history.
Clearly, people are saying it’s time to turn the page. It’s time for a different approach. Now it’s time to start solving problems and helping people. And that’s exactly what I intend to do.
I want you to know that I am honored by the trust you have placed in me, and I’m deeply committed to the job ahead. We’ve got to get Washington working for everyone.
Regardless of which party ends up controlling the Senate, I want you to know that I will work with anyone and everyone to help Coloradans.
I’ve always believed it’s my job to represent all Colorado. That’s what it’s going to take to beat this pandemic, tackle climate change, expand health care, work toward racial and social justice, and so much more.
There’s a lot to do, and Lord knows the system in Washington is a broken mess. But I’m an optimist. I know this country is ready to begin a new chapter.
So tonight, I pledge to you — I will work my heart out for this state that I love. And I will do everything I can to bring common sense and decency to our work.
I want to thank Senator Gardner for his service and wish him and his family the very best. And I want to say to everyone that voted for him, I will be your Senator as well.
Thank you to my wife Robin and my son Teddy for standing with me and being an essential part of everything I am and everything I do. I can’t thank you enough.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, who endorsed this campaign, put up a sign, talked to a friend, chipped in a few bucks, made phone calls, sent texts, or cast a vote.
And thank you to the people of Colorado, for your confidence and trust. I can’t wait to be your Senator.
Together, I know we can change Washington.
Thank you so much.
Let’s get to work.
— John
