Thank you, Kentucky!

EDITOR'S NOTE: In his victory speech tonight, Gov.-elect Andy Beshear thanked "our union families that helped make this election happen." 

Thank you, Kentucky! This was a HUGE win for our teachers, first responders, social workers and every family whose bills keep going up while wages stay the same.

I will be a governor who listens more than I talk and solves more problems than I create.

I ran on kitchen table issues: pensions, health care, public education and creating good-paying jobs. That is how I will govern.

Thank you again to everyone who contributed, knocked on doors, made phone calls, and sent texts. This is your victory.

We are going to treat everyone with dignity and respect. And the doors to your state capitol will always be open.

Thanks for everything,
Andy Beshear
