TUCSON — Democratic Congressional candidate Kirsten Engel has conceded in the race for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District and has released the following statement.
“The people of this district have spoken, and we must honor their decision. Just now I called Juan Ciscomani and gave him my sincere congratulations for being the people’s choice to represent Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District. He will have my support as he works to bring together this diverse district and represent all of us in Congress.
“I am grateful for all of the volunteers, donors and supporters who have fueled our grassroots campaign. This has been a long, tough campaign and I could not have wished for a more enthusiastic group of supporters.
“We can never lose sight of what we fought for in this election and will continue to fight for — protecting women’s reproductive freedoms, preserving our water future, battling climate change, and creating a thriving economy that works for everyone.
“Thank you to every Arizonan who exercised their right to vote and participated in our democracy. Every Arizonan deserves to have their voice heard, and I am grateful to all of the election officials throughout our state that helped ensure our elections were safe, secure and fair.”
