Yesterday, we heard the voices of Missourians, and they have said, we want change.
They have said,
•We want accountability
•We want an independent voice willing to stand up to anyone to fight for Missouri's families
•We want to restore the American dream for everyone.
Missourians have rejected the politics of personal character attacks, and they have embraced the power of hope.
Missouri Democrats have something special to celebrate, once again we have claimed Harry Truman's Senate seat for the working people of Missouri.
I think he would be very proud of the way we did it.
This election was not about me. This election was about you. It was about changing our country's direction and restoring a sense of accountability and integrity to Washington, D.C.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped my campaign and the thousands of those who invested their financial support in our effort. You believed that you could make a difference, and you did.
I understand that I have a responsibility to represent all Missourians, and I will take that responsibility very seriously.
I look forward to working with all the members of Missouri's congressional delegation to find common middle ground to improve the lives of Missouri's families.
