Full of heart and, yes, sorrow and disdain, Senator Turner questions what brought about the election outcome and gives thanks to the thousands of supporters who made her race competitive. While taking the bitter with the sweet, SNT implores us to remain vigilant; reminds us that the journey does not end with a loss as there is still opportunity and NEED to continue on this path to justice. Hello Somebody!
