The Oregonian has called the race for Senate District 6 in my favor and I would like to thank every single person who campaigned with us through the ups and downs to make this win possible. All of the volunteers, supporters, and everyone who endorsed. You proved that the best part of campaigns are the people.
I would like to especially thank my campaign manager Brock Allen who toughed out every moment with me and drove to Linn County to knock on doors in the rain time and again. Last but not least, my deepest thanks to my wife, Ali Tibbetts, who supported this effort, and tirelessly watched the boys while I campaigned. She is the strongest of women, and I thank God for blessing my life with her.
Life, and all of its wonderful experiences, made me into the strong conservative I am today and that is a conviction I will carry with me to Salem. This election came down to who the people of the southeast Willamette Valley trusted to represent their values in Salem, and now it is my turn to prove that trust was well placed.
I would also like to extend my congratulations to Representative Jami Cate and Nicole De Graff on hard fought campaigns and wish them well in their future endeavors.
