From the beginning, this campaign has been about what we can do to work together, find common ground, and get results for the good of Minnesota and our country.

Even in the midst of the great division and great challenges of this past year, I’ve always felt that Minnesotans at heart believe that we are better together.

I’ve seen you act on this belief — helping your neighbors and families. Even helping strangers. We’ve seen it in people offering up donations to food banks, the teachers working overtime for their students, the health care providers working extra shifts. The letter carriers and postal workers who have worked around the clock to get our mail-in ballots delivered in time to be counted. And the tens of thousands of Minnesotans who have peacefully raised your voices for racial justice.

The question of this election has been whether we will come together and lift up the best of who we are, in a moment with the health and economic crisis of COVID, when the challenges all feel so personal — it’s our health, our jobs, the businesses we build, our children’s education.

Last night, you showed that the answer is a resounding yes. You’ve shown that you want to work together and make progress.

Almost three years ago, I became your United States Senator, and two years ago you elected me to this job. I am honored, and grateful, that you have re-elected me to serve you in Washington for six years. And every week I will go to work thinking about you, and working for you.

Elections are not the end, they are the beginning of the real work we have ahead of ourselves. The real work of getting this pandemic under control, building back our economy so that it works for everyone, investing in broadband and a clean energy future, supporting Minnesota farmers, health care as a fundamental human right, and working for racial and economic justice.

I am ready to do that work with all of you, together.

Thank you, and today we continue the work of moving our country forward.

In solidarity,

Tina
