Following the results of the election, I want to speak directly to my supporters, volunteers, prayer warriors, and fellow Americans.
Unfortunately we did not get the results we all worked for. Yet as a Christian first and a Republican second, my mission remains unchanged and unwavering: to wake up the sleeping giant.
This is my resolve, and it has only grown stronger in the face of this outcome.
I have complete peace and genuine pride regarding the results and the outcome.
Today, I devoted my time pouring love and attention into my husband and family, the ones who sacrificed the most throughout this journey. They are my highest priority. Birthdays, major holidays, every weekend on the campaign trail, late nights at debates, and endless drives across two counties - these were only some of costs they bore with grace and unwavering support. I am profoundly thankful for my husband’s love, his deep commitment to our shared endeavors, and the strength he has shown every step of the way. Abby has been amazing, patient and so supportive at her young age and has learned much on the campaign trail! And she crushed her speech at my campaign launch. Im extremely proud of my family!
Looking forward, my resolve is the same - only STRONGER. We remain fully committed to the Republican Party and to the vital work ahead. After prayer, many phone calls and discussions, and discernment with those closest to me, we will announce our next steps in the coming days.
The elections are not over… in many ways, they are just beginning. There is critical work to be done to restore our values, protect our freedoms, and awaken the hearts and minds of this great nation.
To every supporter, volunteer, and prayer warrior who stood with us: thank you from the depths of my heart. Your faith, energy, and dedication carried us far. But now is not the time to grow comfortable. We must press on we must wake the sleeping GIANT. This is non-negotiable.
With gratitude, determination, and unshakable faith,
Crystal De Leon Sarmiento
