Dear Editor,

Today, Hoosiers made their voices heard. The American voting process and our peaceful exchange of power is one of the rarest and therefore most valuable the world has ever seen.

First and foremost, I thank God for the strength and perseverance over these last 20 months. Second, I must thank my wife, Marilyn, for her support, friendship and patience with me during this campaign. And from the bottom of my heart, I thank my friends and supporters for your hard work to make a positive impact on our blessed country. I remain incredibly appreciative of our volunteers, supporters and every person who entrusted me with their vote.

My travels around our great state and the people I’ve been able to meet have been incredibly rewarding experiences that I will treasure always. I extend my sincerest thanks to all those who walked this journey with me. Thank you.

Richard Mourdock
