Last night showed the power of our grassroots movement, and I can’t thank you enough.
I’m so proud of our victory, and I'm thrilled that we were able to win while remaining committed to our principles of kindness and progressivism.
But, this morning, more than anything else I’m humbled by the way we worked together to achieve this victory. We won with votes from the East Side and the West, from Gramercy and Riverside, and with the hard work of New Yorkers young and old.
We face a lot of challenges and I know how overwhelming it can feel. But here’s the thing: I’m a New Yorker, and we New Yorkers just don’t know how to surrender.
New Yorkers stand up and fight.
When it comes to unpacking our Supreme Court, I’m going to stand up and fight.
We’re going to restore abortion access across our entire nation–and I’m going to fight to protect and expand our other fundamental rights too.
We’re going to end the scourge of gun violence in America because we’re going to stand up and fight.
You stood up over these past few months and fought for me. All I can offer in return is my solemn promise to head back to Washington and do the same for you.
Thank you for being with me.
Onward,
Jerry
