Statement from Maine Democratic Party Chair Bev Uhlenhake:

“We were fortunate to have so many inspiring Democratic leaders running for the state legislature this year, and I am proud of the work we have done to compete and win in districts across the state. Mainers have spoken, they have voted to elect educators, healthcare workers, small business owners, and parents – and have built State House & Senate majorities that are truly representative of the people of our great state. I am proud to congratulate them on their success, and I know that in the legislature they will fight to put Maine’s families, freedoms, and future first.”

Statement from Maine Democratic Party Chair Bev Uhlenhake:

“Though the outcome of the presidential race is disappointing and even frightening for many, I could not be more proud of the work of our staff and volunteers on the ground here in Maine.

Mainers decisively delivered three electoral votes for Kamala Harris & Tim Walz, and smashed records of doors knocked and calls made statewide. Hard work is good work, and that is reflected in our success in down ballot races this cycle. We must all roll up our sleeves to keep fighting each and every day for candidates and policies that strengthen Maine’s families, communities, environment, and economy. I congratulate Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz on running an excellent and historic campaign.”

My heart is full. Full of gratitude for the trust that you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve.

I know you gave so much of yourselves to this fight. And I am so grateful to you.

The outcome of this election is not what we wanted. And it is not what we fought for. But the light of America’s promise will always burn bright – as long as we never give up and keep fighting.

While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign.

The fight for the ideals that reflect America at its best: Freedom, opportunity, fairness, and dignity. That is a fight I will never give up.

I will never give up the fight for a future where every American can pursue their dreams. Where the women of America have the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies. The fight to protect our students and our streets from gun violence. The fight for our democracy.

Because the fight for our country is always worth it. And we cannot give up now.

I know this team. And I know that you do not back down from a hard fight.

This is not the time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves.

You can and will make a difference.

Thank you,

Kamala

Kamala Harris
Vice President of the United States
