IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT April 29, 2019 I come to you with a heavy, but resigned heart. I am officially suspending my campaign for United States Congress. On March 22 of this year, my daughter, Adlee, was born. I knew that would change my life in incredible ways, but there was no way for me to truly understand how life changing this would be. Every moment of her life has been magical. Having a child has a way of slowing time down and providing clarity and focus. As much as I wanted to win the election in 2018, I cannot even imagine the moments I would be missing if I had won. When Kimberly and I first decided to have a baby, we knew that all of our endeavors, including a campaign, would be difficult. But we are a team and work together. Throughout the campaign, she made sure our 9 year-old and 14 year-old got to their volleyball and basketball games, Girl Scouts, and band practices. Many times, instead of spending time alone as a family, we’d bring them to campaign events and they were just as engaged as anyone about working to see everyone being represented and treated with equal dignity and respect. I am so proud of how aware they are of politics and the impact the political process has on our daily lives. Kimberly and I knew that a baby would add extra challenges to balancing family time. She is my greatest support and cheerleader. But I don’t want her to have to raise our baby with me gone much of the time. And even more, I don’t want to see my daughter grow up through pictures and Facetime. I don’t want to see her first laugh; I want to make her laugh. I don’t want to hear her first word; I want to teach it to her. I don’t want to watch her walk for the first time on video; I want to be holding her hands as she takes her first steps. I really thought that once she was born, I would be even more committed to making the world a better place for her, for our older daughters, and for all of us; and that after a little bit of time, I’d be able to throw myself into this campaign. But now that she is here, I realize the best way for me right now to make her world a better place, is to not miss these moments of her life and to share this time with Kimberly, Carlie, and Kaia. Campaigns will always be there, but the first few months and years of my daughter’s life will be gone in a moment. And I want to soak it all in. I’ve been thinking a lot about line from one of my favorite songs, “Glitter In the Air”. “Have you ever wished for an endless night? Lassoed the moon and the stars, and pulled that rope tight?” That describes how I felt on November 6, 2018. While we didn’t win the race, we knew that we had closed the gap in such a significant and surprising way, that I wasn’t sure I wanted it to end. And I didn’t want to let go of all of you who worked so hard and contributed so much. But now I see that there is no such thing as an endless night. Today is a new day and it’s time to let go. For now. Deciding to run for public office was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever made. Yet suspending this campaign is 100 times more difficult. I believe now more than ever in the principles that led me to run for office in the first place. We need servant leaders who will put people over profit and partisanship. I have spent my life dedicated to advocacy for equality and justice for all. That won’t stop now. I don’t know where my passion and life’s work will lead, but I assure you that while this campaign is ending, our work together in changing the world will continue. I want to thank my family, my incredible campaign team, volunteers, contributors, and supporters. You all have made such an imprint on my heart and in my life. Thank you. Lorie
