Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is flying around the state on a thank you tour, also just sent out an email to her supporters expressing her gratitude. Here’s the text:
Dear Friend,
I want to thank you for all the wonderful efforts you made to bring me and so many other Democrats to victory on Election Day. I am so grateful to the people of New York for their support and confidence. And I know this would not have been possible without the strong commitment of my supporters online.
Today I’m celebrating not just my victory, but victories for other Democrats in New York and all over the country. Americans chose a new direction for the nation when they elected a Democratic majority in the House and quite possibly the Senate, and now I’m looking forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to get those changes underway.
A big part of our victory in Congress came here in New York, where Mike Arcuri, Kirsten Gillibrand, and John Hall won seats currently held by Republicans. I am so excited that these seats in New York were such a crucial part of our victory in taking back the House, and so pleased that you did so much to support them.
In addition to winning back Congress, Democrats won big in state races in every region of the country, taking control of a majority of governors’ mansions. In New York, we elected our first Democratic governor in 12 years!
In every region of the country, voters looked to Democrats for a new direction. I’m so proud of all the work that my friends and supporters did in the course of this election, and I am eager to get to work.
