District for the responsibility and trust they have given me to continue
representing them in the U.S. House of Representatives. I congratulate Mark
Sullivan for his willingness to engage in the electoral process. The
exchange of ideas is good for our country.

for their unwavering support and encouragement. I also thank my staff and the
many volunteers whose tireless efforts made tonight's victory possible. We are
at a pivotal moment in our history, and I look forward to continuing to serve
Nebraskans and working to get America back on track."

"The results of yesterday's
election confirm Nebraskans are ready to make the difficult decisions to
save our nation from bankruptcy, rein in the size and scope of the federal
government, and unleash the private sector to boost economic growth and
job creation. I look forward to working with Senator-elect Fischer to
make these reforms as we represent the people of Nebraska.
"While I would have preferred a different outcome in the
Presidential election, I remain committed to working with the Nebraska
delegation, the President and all of my colleagues to find common ground
and serve the best interests of our nation."
