I mourn for our country, but I'm so happy you won. And I appreciate your kind words about your opponent, Dan Bishop. One of the qualities I admire most in you is your kindness and respect for others, even when they are fierce opponents. Hooray for our purple state -- Gov, Lt-Gov, Sec of State, Atty Gen, and more.

Heartiest congratulations Jeff. From a California supporter. I said it earlier this year and I repeat. The presidency is in your future.

Congratulations and thank you! I'm very happy that you, Josh Stein, Rachel Hunt, Mo Green and other smart, ethical, compassionate Democrats won your election. Wish we had flipped a few other seats in the state legislature but I'm thrilled that you will be the incoming Attorney General for our state.

I am so glad you won! I donated to your campaign early. It makes me very sad that your state is so badly gerrymandered.

So pleased with this outcome. A little jealous that you have the satisfaction of having prevailed despite the losses across the country. So I’m going to rely on your regular updates to keep up my spirits as we all muddle through. Sincere Congratulations. You are the kind of leader we need.

Huge congratulations! I was an early believer in you as a congressman and everything you have done has reinforced that confidence. Your victory was one of a few bright spots in an avalanche of horrifying news. If anyone can protect North Carolina from the most frightening aspects of the incoming administration, it is you.

While I am still worried about what has happened nationally this email brought tears of joy that locally we are a little more insulated. Thank you for your honesty, perseverance and humility. All things we need to lean into for the next 4 years. Congrats!

Congratulations. Thankfully, NC has a blue blanket over us to, hopefully, moderate some of the impacts people fear from the new Federal administration. I hope you will continue with some sort of regular communication such as this newsletter I've enjoyed for some time now. Not sure what would be appropriate for the AG office, but reading a sensible, rational, compassionate voice that has some position of responsibility in government is refreshing and encouraging in these days. Thanks and best to you and your family as you make the transition and beyond.

Congratulations, Jeff! We'll miss having you in Congress, but I'm sure you'll be a great AG. Come see us again in Cornelius!
