Last night, I was honored to earn the weighted vote across the seven counties in the 14th District.

I am truly grateful to each and every Precinct Committeeperson who put their faith in me and believed in this campaign. Your support means more than I can express. To those who did not vote for me, please know this: I value you, I respect you, and I will work just as hard to represent you.

I also want to extend my gratitude to my opponent for his service over the past four years. Stepping into this role comes with great responsibility, and I appreciate the time and effort he has given to our party.

I look forward to bringing fresh ideas, renewed energy, and a strong commitment to the conservative base that elected me. We have important work ahead—strengthening our state party, winning elections, and supporting candidates from the grassroots up.

Thank you again for your confidence in me. I am here to serve you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out anytime and let me know how I can help.

With gratitude,
Beth
