I lost the election, but that's ok! I am truly happy with where I am in life and incredibly grateful to everyone who supported me through this crazy journey.
This experience taught me a lot - especially that I am not a politician, nor do I have any desire to be one! What I am is grateful. Grateful for the encouragement, the conversations, the friendships, and the people who stood beside me along the way.
A special thank you to my husband, Carl Haney, and my boys, Jayden Taylor and Wyatt Lierman, and Cory Ainslie for being my biggest supporters and for holding me up through all of this. Thank you to my co-workers who didn't want to see me leave, but still supported and encouraged me every step of the way. Thank you to my friends and family for the kind words, prayers, guidance, and constant support.
I am thankful for the new friendships I made during this process, and also thankful for the clarity to recognize who my true friends are.
No matter the outcome, I am grateful for where I am today and excited that this campaign is over!
Congratulations Chad Hoeft, you will do a great job!
