In this midterm election, marked by some of what is best and some of what is worst about this democracy, I feel incredibly grateful to have ended this election on the winning side.
I've served in the minority before. I know I can be effective whether a part of the minority or majority party.
Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisconsin
