Sean Bielat Congratulates Joe Kennedy on Victory

By contributor,

After a dedicated grassroots campaign against Joe Kennedy III, Sean Bielat issued the following statement:

Hope and I offer our congratulations to Joe Kennedy on his victory tonight. Joe and I both ran strong campaigns and did a good job of staying focused on the issues.

We may have lost this race, but every time a Republican puts up a strong race against the Democratic machine in Massachusetts, the voters benefit. Each race encourages more people to get involved in politics, and that's always good. Most importantly, we thank our volunteers and supporters. We could not have gotten through a long campaign like this without their help. They were the heart and enthusiasm of this campaign. There are not enough words to describe the gratitude and appreciation that Hope and I have for their work.

As I told Joe a few minutes ago on the phone, Hope and I offer him and his fiancee, Lauren, our congratulations and good luck in Washington, DC.
