I believe across the nation that we are witnessing the year of the parent and parents that are saying we're going to be engaged and we're going to fight for our kids, whether that's in the classroom or in our communities or in the nation at large, we worked hard to reach out and to spread the conservative message to even atypical groups, to bring as many people into the fold as possible. Because I believe when people hear our plan, when they hear our vision, when they hear where we are on the policies, we will win. So it is my hope that we can do that, that we can come together, that we can step up and be a real force for change. We can't do that if we're fragmented.
