00:24My fellow Virginians
00:30Tonight, we sent a message.
00:46We sent a message to every corner of the Commonwealth, a message to our neighbors and our fellow Americans across the country.
00:58We sent a message to the whole world that in 2025, Virginia chose pragmatism over partisanship.
01:08We chose our Commonwealth over chaos.
01:18We chose our Commonwealth over chaos.
01:28Thank you for making me who I am and thank you for always believing in me.
01:34Leadership that will focus on problem solving, not stoking, division.
01:40You chose, we chose leadership that will always put Virginia first.
01:46And Virginia, I cannot wait to get to work for you.
01:56And to my parents, I love you.
02:02Thank you for leading by example.
02:06To everyone who helped us achieve this win, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
02:14I thank you for the trust that you have placed in me.
02:26And it is the honor of my lifetime to be elected the 75th governor of the Commonwealth.
02:44I would like to thank my opponent for a hard-fought race.
03:02The lieutenant governor's story, her military service, and her years of service here in Virginia,
03:16deserve our respect and our gratitude.
03:18And I ask that you join me in wishing her and her family well.
03:30I have worked with anyone and everyone, regardless of political party, to deliver results for the people that I serve.
03:38And that's because I believe in this idea that there is so much more that unites us,
03:44as Virginians and as Americans, than divides us.
03:48And I know, I know in my heart that we can unite for Virginia's future and we can set an example for the rest of the nation.
04:06I love you. I'm grateful for you. And I cannot wait to see what the next couple of years bring.
04:22To my daughters, Claire, Charlotte, and Catherine, you inspire me and motivate me every single day.
04:46I am lucky to be your mother. And Catherine, you did not clean your room today, as you promised me.
05:12I'm working on it!
05:18She's working on it. If I was working on it, we wouldn't have won this election, okay?
05:22It's a big deal that the girls and the young women I have met along the campaign trail now know with certainty that they can achieve anything.
05:48I'm so excited we got this party started a little earlier than expected.
05:56But I am so excited.
06:03And I'm so excited!
06:06This is the is my turn.
06:08If I was a compliment dadd, bro
06:10You've got to start giving me a message.
06:12Oh, is that the crazy year today are these kids that are not crazy,
06:17I can belt around and sign up.
06:19I'm so excited to be a driver that causes you to take a picture of another day.
06:22This has been provided by aу for forgiveness.
