“Thank you to the voters in Kansas’s 2nd Congressional District who made our victory tonight possible! Our great nation has serious problems, and we need serious people to address them. As your Congressman, I will work hard every day to faithfully represent our citizens as we work together with our fellow Americans to solve them.
“As I said in announcing my candidacy, what is best for our district and for America will always be my steady guidepost. I will start immediately to prepare so that on day one – January 3, 2025 – we can get straight to work securing our border, reducing the high cost of living, reducing the regulatory burden, and addressing the many other priorities Kansans have told me are important for our great country. Thank you for this opportunity to serve, and God bless America!”
