I am very proud of America–thrilled for the outcome of the presidential election, but more than that, thrilled about and proud of the many people who worked so tirelessly to get out the vote, who voted for the first time, who took ownership of this country and the democratic process in a way we’ve never seen before.

I really do hope and pray that this is the start of something new and transformative and extraordinary.
