I’m particularly grateful for my family’s unflagging support, my hard-working staff, the countless faithful volunteers and the many others who lent a hand along the way. Without this group of dedicated people, today’s win would not have been possible. This victory is the fruit of much work and many people deserve to share in celebrating our decisive win.
