DNC Chair Tom Perez released the following statement after New Hampshire voters elected Democrat Kevin Cavanaugh in today’s special state senate election:

“Congratulations to Kevin Cavanaugh for his victory in today’s special election in New Hampshire’s 16th District. When we invest, we win. That's what we did here in New Hampshire and that's what we will continue to do in races up and down the ballot.

The values of the Democratic Party are the values of the American people, and we must continue to win elections in order to protect those values. As Kevin prepares to serve the people of New Hampshire, I know he’ll fight for what’s right and help build a brighter future for all the hardworking families in the Granite State.”
