Thank You

From: Judy Duhamel
Chair, South Dakota Democratic Party

Dear Candidates and Supporters,

It's hard to find the right words to both commend and thank you for the ground swell of organization and energy you devoted to this election. While we didn't elect as many candidates as we had hoped to elect, we provided a level of discussion far better than we have been able to achieve in the past. We played hard and well in this game. We take pride in the manner in which we campaigned. Candidates---you were outstanding! Thank you for dedicating yourselves to the good fight. I am proud of each of you--indeed, talking about the Black Hills Slate has been such a pleasure these past months.

To the volunteers, we are indebted. The GOTV effort was amazing in some districts. Kudos to DIA—a major influence in this election. You put your "normal" life on hold and immersed in the efforts to elect democrats. Thank you.

With Appreciation and Admiration,

Judy

ps Today is the first day of the next campaign.
