campaign team has just completed a county by county analysis of
outstanding provisional and absentee ballots in the 13th Congressional
District, as well as some precinct based anomalies in ballot returns
and turnout. <br>
<br>
The closeness of this race (less than 1/2 percentage point) demanded
that we diligently check the numbers. I am very grateful for the
dedicated work of my campaign staff to go through this data in the last
few days, and for the cooperation of election officials in each of the
14 counties. <br>
<br>
It has become clear to me, based on the numbers I've seen, that there
are simply not enough uncounted ballots remaining to wipe out the
current 1,287 vote deficit I face in this election. <br>
<br>
I greatly appreciate the extraordinary support I've received from
thousands of people like you throughout this long campaign and the
strong encouragement that so many of you gave me to make sure every
vote was counted. It has truly been an inspiration to me and my family. <br>
<br>
I'm also grateful for the incredible support of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee, each county party in the district and
dozens of unions. I've been especially honored by the support and
friendship of dedicated public servants like Senator Dick Durbin,
Governor Pat Quinn, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, former Comptroller
Dawn Clark Netsch and former Congressman Phil Hare. Illinois is truly
fortunate to have progressive leaders like these. <br>
<br>
The incredibly close outcome of this congressional election, along with
the re-election of President Obama and a Democratic Senate, have proven
that knee-jerk conservative policies will not succeed in this country
nor be accepted by most of the people in this district. It will require
compromise and common sense solutions to govern this nation and to
serve this region. I have faith that the people and the press in the
13th District will be watching closely. <br>
<span style="line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia;"><br>
<span style="line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia;">I hope this campaign
made a difference in the national debate and helped set the right
priorities for the future. I will continue to speak out on the issues I
care deeply about and advocate for progressive policies.<br>
<br>
<span style="line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia;">Each of you has given
me the strength and the courage to continue to fight throughout the
most difficult days of this campaign. I know you will continue to work
for a better America that always takes care of our most vulnerable
citizens. I will be honored to stand behind you in the important
battles ahead.</span></span></span><br>
<br>
While Rodney Davis and I have very different priorities and political
philosophies, I hope we share a few things in common: a deep desire to
see a better future for the communities we love in this part of
Illinois and a commitment to try to leave things a little better than
we found them for our children. I hope that Mr. Davis will seek ways to
compromise and support the President so we can see real progress for
middle class families.<br>
<br>
The time has now come to bring this exciting campaign to a close. I
know the friendships and partnerships we have forged in this long fight
together will go on for many years to come. <br>
<br>
I will never forget all that you have done.<br>
<br>
In friendship,</font></span><br>
