Good morning -

I want to share an update following yesterday's Secretary of State
announcement of a mandatory recount. Since the results were so close, we have
been expecting this as a mandatory part of Colorado's voting process. The
recount is one of the measures that protects and helps ensure the sanctity of
Colorado elections and the decision to conduct a recount is (rightfully so) not
influenced by any campaign or candidate. I have said from the beginning that I
will honor the certified results of the Colorado Secretary of State, and
Coloradans deserve to have this legally mandated process take place.

recount ordered in congressional race between Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch

While I am fully supportive of the recount process, based on the history of
Colorado recounts, I could not, in good faith, perpetuate false hope that there
is a good chance of the recount changing the outcome of this election. That is
why on November 18th, I publicly conceded this race to my opponent. When I
launched this campaign, I promised to run this race with integrity because that
is who I am. I could not look people in the eye and raise money when the votes
were already cast, ballots cured, and the final election results were in the
hands of Colorado's competent Secretary of State - and no amount of money could
change them.

The race for Colorado's 3rd Congressional District has become the closest
election in the nation this year, and folks have been shocked, especially given
this district's 9 point Republican advantage. With support from so many of you,
my team and I are very proud of the race we ran. It clearly shows a rejection
of extremism and a lack of focus by the incumbent on the citizens of Western &
Southern Colorado by Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike.

My concession remains sincere but has no legal implications – under no
circumstances did I want it to stop (which it legally cannot) this recount of
votes. If, by some slight chance, there is a big enough vote swing to put us in
the lead after the recount, we would be certified the winner and sworn into
congress on January 3rd. But the reality is we do not expect the results of
this election to change with the recount.

In the meantime, plans for the recount are being finalized today by each of
the 27 counties in the district. I will keep you updated on the progress and
share the information we have with you, but at this time, we can expect the
results of the recount no later than December 13th.

Thank you for keeping the faith, for your support throughout this campaign,
and for believing in the democratic processes that define our country.

With gratitude –
Adam
