Thank you, Texas
I have now had a day to think about the long, wild ride that was the race for governor. It will take much longer to sort through all that occurred but I do know this: I am thankful for the experience and blessed to have had so many wonderful people such as you supporting my effort.
In my concession speech, I shared the Alexandra Saperstein quote that appears on a gift from my nieces: "Those who never risk themselves, never fully become themselves." As this experience has taught me, there is so much truth in that statement.
Losing is no fun, but simply giving up and not fighting is absolutely nothing. As the race for governor wore on, I found my footing, I found my voice and felt as if I had a chance to "fully become myself." I leave the race with head held high and pride intact - having accomplished more than many thought imaginable.
