Friend,

First, let me say this: Thank you.

Representing New York in the U.S. Senate is the honor of a lifetime, and I'm humbled and honored that New Yorkers have once again put their faith in me to continue serving them.

Across the country, this was a historic election -- and control of the Senate still hangs in the balance.

Here's what we know for sure: In Arizona and Nevada, the races are too close to call. We need to make sure every vote is counted. And in Georgia, Raphael Warnock is officially headed to a runoff against Herschel Walker in just four weeks, and that race could determine control of the entire Senate.

I am so grateful for all you've done to help Democrats win across the country. And right now, I'm asking you to not give up. I'm asking you to stay in the fight until every last vote is counted. We've accomplished incredible things over the last two years, and together, we will continue the fight to deliver for the American people.

Thank you for being part of this team. More soon,

Chuck Schumer
