Tonight, Iowans have sent a message. They have reminded us that in America, democracy is alive. That our votes really do make a difference. And that government by the people, for the people, is not just something we inherited. It is something that we choose and that we work for every single day and that we build together. That is what our democracy is and we prove that tonight.
