Look, I cannot thank you guys enough. I got a call from Ryan Fazio an hour or so ago. He graciously conceded the race. I thanked him for a race well -thought on the issues compared to a lot of the other nonsense you see going on around the rest of the country. I was proud of Connecticut during this last campaign. And I appreciate the vote total because I think it's a statement of confidence about where we've come as a state and where we have to go.
