You and your neighbors in New York's 20th Congressional District helped take Scott Murphy from a long-shot candidate in a Republican district to leading in a very tight race.
While the race is too close to call and there are still absentee ballots to be counted, Scott's come-from-behind performance could not have happened without the support of thousands of people just like you.
I want to thank you for all of the hard work and support you gave to Scott and his campaign. In these difficult economic times, sparing an extra minute or dollar is tough. I value your commitment to our democracy. I'm confident that when the dust settles and all the ballots have been counted, Scott will join me in Washington as an ally for change.
The challenges we'll face in the coming months and years are great. To be successful, leaders in Washington will need to work together. We'll need to put aside partisanship and ideology and come to the table with real ideas for rebuilding an economy that works for all Americans.
I look forward to working with Scott and with each of you to bring renewed prosperity to your region and to the nation.
Thank You,
President Barack Obama
