SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA – Congressman Mike Honda released the following statement on the general election for California’s 17th Congressional District:

Dear Constituents:

“My commitment to public service has always been about expanding opportunities for working families. I am incredibly proud of my track record of delivering for workers, seniors and middle class families.

"All the work I have done in my career, every decision I have made, every action I have taken has been to give all Americans the tools and conditions to build a country that works for everyone. A country with a strong economy, a cleaner environment, a country that protects the civil rights of all, a country that is the envy of the rest of the world.

"I am proud of my service to this region, I’ve seen it grow from the Valley of Heart’s delight to Silicon Valley. I am honored to have been apart of that growth and transformation.

"I congratulate my opponent on his victory in this hard-fought campaign to represent the people of California’s 17th Congressional District.

"Now is the time to come together as a party and unite around the progressive values we hold dear. I want to thank my family for their ongoing support, and the hardworking staff, volunteers, and supporters who have stood with me throughout my career.

"It is a testament to the support you have shown for our collective cause that helped me to achieve all the things I have in these 16 years I served as your representative in Congress and the many earlier years of public service. This work is too important to stop, I look forward to continue working with you in pursuit of our ideals.”
