To everyone who supported my campaign, thank you. While the outcome did not end in victory, I leave this race inspired by the encouragement, prayers, conversations, and support shown to me across all 67 counties.

I have spent decades serving and investing in our state before ever asking for a vote. Meeting so many hardworking Alabamians only strengthened my belief in our future.

Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, friend, and family member who stood beside us over the past 12 months - speaking twice a day, visiting four counties a day, planning events, raising money, installing signs, making calls, door knocking, and being a part of a positive team who engaged with voters.

This journey was about believing Alabama can be stronger, more transparent, and full of opportunity for the next generation.

I am grateful beyond words and will continue to work to improve the quality of life for the people of our state. Together, we can Build a Better Alabama. #Our67
