The people of Kansas made their voices heard, and Iām deeply honored by the trust Kansans placed in me to serve as your next governor. Whether I earned your vote or not, I will work for you.
Throughout this campaign, I heard from people who want their leaders to put politics aside and work together to deliver on the things that matter most: strong public schools, lower costs for our families and farmers, and an economy where every Kansan can get ahead.
I thank Senate President Ty Masterson for his service to our state and congratulate him on running a hard-fought campaign. In the days ahead, I look forward to working closely with Governor Laura Kelly to ensure a smooth transition and build on the progress our state has made.
Now, we move forward - together.

Last night was a difficult night in Kansas and around the country. But I'm grateful to the hundreds of thousands of Kansans who stood with us, and to every volunteer who gave their time to this campaign.
The first count does not seem to be going our way, but the margin is narrow enough that Kansas law calls for another look, and we'll let that process finish. Every Kansan deserves to know the result is right.
Whatever the outcome, the fight for lower property taxes, safer communities and better schools doesn't end tonight. I'll keep working for those things no matter what, and I'll work with anyone who wants to get them done.
āItās too close to call.ā
