McCormick congratulates Braun on winning gubernatorial race

Submitted

Indiana Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jennifer McCormick released the following statement just after 10 p.m. Tuesday night after conceding the race for governor.

A few minutes ago, I called the Governor-elect and congratulated him.

While tonight’s outcome is disappointing, I know we waged a campaign based on hope and optimism, not one of fear and chaos.

I’m so incredibly thankful to the millions of Hoosiers who voted and made their voices heard. Thank you to our supporters and volunteers for their energy and enthusiasm. Because of all of you, I remain confident that Hoosier hospitality and ingenuity will ensure that Indiana’s best days remain ahead of us. Simply put, Hoosiers define the Hoosier State, not the Governor.

For now, I’m confident the sun will come up tomorrow, as it has every day after the other 51 men were elected governor. Thank you so much, and God bless the great state of Indiana.
