Thank you so much for your support that you provided to us and to this campaign. We may not have won the battle but I believe campaigns like the one we ran will end up winning the war. Our campaign defined the messages in this race. It is imperative that now we work to help Doug Lamborn continue to take those messages to Washington.
 
There are some that believe our goal of cutting government 20 percent in 10 years isn’t possible, that ending earmarks or reforming the way Washington does business isn’t possible. But who would have thought in 1981 that the Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall would have come down by 1989? We dreamed big on this campaign and I’m so proud of our efforts.
 
On Wednesday morning, one of our great supporters reminded me of the Peggy Noonan book, When Character Was King. There is a part in the book where Reagan autographs a supporter's convention floor ticket after Reagan lost his primary against Gerald Ford in 1976. Reagan wrote, "We dreamed--we fought & the dream is still with us. Thanks."  And to that end I say the same to you. The dream and goals of our campaign are still alive. We’ll keep fighting for them and we’ll help Doug Lamborn and the rest of the Republican ticket win in November.
 
It was an honor for Lisa and I to have such great supporters like you. We made a difference and I am so grateful for the opportunity we had to work with you. Thank you.
 
Sincerely,
Jeff and Lisa Crank
 
P.S. We’d appreciate your help with taking down any yard signs that may still be in your neighborhood!
