"I felt really good. I'm very proud of what we've done," the Pender native said. "The problems that inspired me to run shouldn't exist."

She cited goals like making childcare and housing affordable, as well as securing the border, as reasons she ran for U.S. Senate. Gubernatorial candidate Merrill Piepkorn also had some parting words for everyone who supported him throughout the campaigning process.
"The most precious commodity we have to share is our time," Piepkorn said. "We built tremendous momentum today, and it will carry over. So let's stick together."
Christiansen shared that sentiment. She said that after today, she wants to focus on spending more time with her kids. Some people booed as Christiansen congratulated Sen. Cramer on his victory.
