While we came up short in this election, the issues and ideas that our Democratic leaders continue fighting for -- bringing jobs to Florida, solving the foreclosure crisis, and improving our public schools for Florida's children -- are critically important to the future of the Sunshine State.

Today, we are more determined than ever to hold Republican politicians accountable.

I would like to personally thank everyone who volunteered at our Campaign for Accountability offices across Florida, the grassroots activists and elected leaders who work so hard to make the Sunshine State a better place to live, and all of the Floridians who contributed to the Florida Democratic Party over this last several years.

We energized millions of voters in this state.  Because of the amazing operation we built, those Floridians got engaged in this campaign, they learned about the issues facing the state we love, and they stood up for Democratic leaders we can believe in.

That accomplishment alone takes Florida -- and our country -- forward.  That is a feat worth celebrating.

Thank you so much for everything you've done -- and for believing in a brighter future for Florida.
