Last week’s election was an extraordinary one.

I began this campaign as an underdog, a candidate of whom no one had ever heard who was taken by the idea that voters in Western Pennsylvania wanted to see real change in Washington.
Since September, we built a coalition of volunteers, raised money, knocked on doors, and took our message to the voters.
The result was distinct: we carried each of the six counties in the district and won more than two-thirds of the vote overall.
This is not my victory: it is yours. Your hard work, your commitment, and your determination to build a better future for our country all paid off in this victory—and what we accomplished this month is only the dress rehearsal for our victory in November.
From the bottom of our hearts, my family and I thank each of you for your unswerving commitment to our nation’s future. I hope that each of you will enjoy this holiday weekend with a joy tempered by the recollection of those who over more than two centuries have laid down their lives for our freedoms.
