PRESS RELEASE: Cantwell Statement On Election Results
"I am humbled by the opportunity to serve our state again in the United States Senate.

“People should know that I am not going back to Washington DC to salute more stalemate -- but to work with my colleagues on economic solutions that will put people back to work.
“After traveling the state for the last several months, I've met farmers, software engineers, machinists, small business owners, shipbuilders, fishermen and scientists.
“It is clear to me that we are a state with great people and good ideas. I plan to fight for them and all of you in the U.S. Senate.”
