Thank you for the support

I want to congratulate Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen on her victory, and to wish her well in the coming four years as she serves the constituents of the 10th Legislative District.

I also want to thank the many voters who supported me and the wonderful volunteers who helped me during the campaign. Running for the first time district-wide was an extraordinary learning experience. It was filled with challenges, excitement, some disappointments and adventure. I especially enjoyed meeting thousands of you at your doors in every corner of the district. I heard from many of you your hopes and concerns for our future. I am deeply grateful to those who shared your time, gave of your energy and resources, and encouraged my family and me during the last six months.

It is an honor to have had the opportunity to run and be a participant in our great democracy. For all its flaws, it is still the best system of government in the world! Thank you again.

Clinton
