Reed Attributes Victory To Volunteers

Statement from Tom Reed on being elected to represent New York’s 29th District in the House of

Representatives”

 

“This is the end of a long road and the beginning of another one! Sixteen months ago we started this

campaign – because we were concerned about an American bankruptcy and the crushing debt burden

being put upon our children and grandchildren.

 

The circumstances of the campaign changed, but we never changed. We have stayed consistent with a

message of limited government, stopping the borrowing and spending, and creating an environment in

which jobs can be created. That message resonated with voters from Gowanda to Van Etten, from

Wellsville to Henrietta.

 

I want to thank the hundreds of volunteers that worked for this campaign. From day one, so many people

gave of their time and talent to make this success possible. This victory really belongs to them. I also

want to thank my wife Jean, my children Autumn and Will, and my brothers and sisters for their

unwavering support throughout the campaign.

 

I am very humbled by the opportunity to serve as your next Congressman. I will hit the ground running to

complete this unexpired term and I will not let you down.

 

As we crisscrossed the district countless times since July 1, 2009, we listened and heard the real concerns

that people have about the economy and how our government must learn to live within its means.

Now we’re going to take that message on to Washington. Given some the results we’ve seen tonight from

around the country, we won’t be the only ones. Don’t stop believing that better days are ahead.”
