Sen. Coons Office
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) issued the following statement:
“Last Tuesday’s election did not produce the outcome nationally that I had hoped and worked for, but the people have spoken. We have to accept the results and move forward with a peaceful transfer of power to a new administration and Senate majority. In a country as divided as ours, my job continues to be to find common ground to tackle the real problems facing our country while representing Delaware’s values and upholding our Constitution.
“I’m proud of what we accomplished over the past four years – especially the bipartisan investments in manufacturing, innovation and infrastructure that have put our economy on a stronger track, our support for veterans, as well as progress on gun safety and mental health.
“There is a clear message from this election — that we in the Democratic Party have to listen better to the concerns of the middle class, respect the dignity of work, and expand opportunity in our country. I am determined to listen to those who have felt disrespected, ignored or overlooked by our actions and will roll up my sleeves to tackle the many challenges still facing our nation.”
