“After a long, tough fight, I am proud to earn the privilege of serving CA-25 for another 2 years. With only a few remaining ballots to be counted, victory is clear.
“A tip of the hat to Christy Smith who ran an excellent and aggressive campaign. Running in these elections is difficult, and she did it with grace. I extend this compliment to all 18 opponents I faced in the last 12 months who also were compelled to serve with hopes to represent this beautiful district.
“I am honored by the supporters who voted for me and humbled by those who did not. In the end, I will work hard for each and every one of you. And for our Nation.”

Mike, given what is happening now on a national level, you should refrain from “declaring” or “calling” anything until the election is certified and any outstanding challenges are resolved.
Congratulations Mike! California had me worried there for awhile with ballot shenanigans and all but you pulled through. Great news.
