Thank you
In the wake of Tuesday night's victory, I want to take a moment to thank you. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had your help and support over these past months. Each of you have played an integral role in my campaign and in my life – from my family who has put up with my grueling schedule, to the volunteers who have tirelessly worked the phones, to the supporters who have provided the contributions to keep our campaign moving forward, and to my staff, who have all spent so many late nights working at the office. Together, we have run a fantastic campaign. Thank you for your work, your well wishes, and your support.
Together, we have accomplished so much. Just hours after I was sworn in, I cast the deciding vote to create real ethics reform. Working in a bipartisan manner, we were able to restore science funding, saving hundreds of jobs at Fermilab and Argonne. And I joined members from both sides of the aisle to pass a GI Bill for the 21st century, giving our brave men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan a future worth fighting for. After a productive eight months in office, I am so happy to have earned a full, enormous two year term in Congress to serve as your Representative.
Thank you again for your support, and I look forward to continuing to work with you to bring change to Washington.
Sincerely,
Bill
