GOVERNOR-ELECT (VA): I am at a loss for words for the first time in my life. \u2026 So, I\u2019m here because of you. I\u2019m here because you voted for me, I\u2019m here because you put your trust in me. That\u2019s the only reason I\u2019m here. Thank you. Thank you.Got my speech. I want to introduce to you my husband Terence, he\u2019s another Marine. My daughter Katia and my other daughter Janel. I\u2019m telling you, that what you are looking at is the American dream. The American Dream. When my father came to this country, August 11th of 1963, he came at the height of the Civil Rights movement from Jamaica. He came and I said to him, but it was such a bad time for us, why did you come? And he said, \u2018Because America was where the jobs and the opportunities were.\u2019 And he only came with $1.75. $1.75. Took any job he could find any put himself through school and started his American dream. And then yes, and now he\u2019s comfortably retired. And then he came and got me when I was six years old. And when I stepped on that Pan Am Boeing 737 and landed at JFK, I landed in a new world. And so let me tell you this, I am not even first generation American. When I joined the Marine Corps, I was still a Jamaican, but this country had done so much for me I was willing, willing to die for this country. \u2026I say to you, there are some who want to divide us and we must not let that happen. They would like us to believe we are back in 1963, when my father came. We can live wherever we want, we can eat where we want, we own the water fountains. We have had a black president elected not once but twice and here I am living proof. In case you haven\u2019t noticed, I am black and I have been black all my life.But that\u2019s not what this is about, what we are going to do is we are going to now be about the business of the Commonwealth. We have things to attend to, we are going to fully fund our historically black colleges and universities. You\u2019re gonna hear from your governor-elect Glenn Younkin. And he\u2019s got a day one plan that I\u2019m already tired about, I don\u2019t know how we\u2019re gonna make it to day two. But he\u2019s going to make sure we keep more of our money in our pockets because he\u2019s going to get rid of all kinds of taxes. We\u2019re gonna have safer neighborhoods, safer communities, and our children are going to get a good education because education lifted my father out of poverty, education lifted me out of poverty, education will lift us all out of poverty because we must have marketable skills so that our children can not just survive, but they will thrive, and they recreate generational wealth. That\u2019s what this is about.I\u2019m gonna finish up. \u2026 It\u2019s a historic night. Yes, it is. But I didn\u2019t run to make history. I just wanted to leave it better than I found it. And with your help, we\u2019re gonna do that, we\u2019re gonna have transparent government. And as I used to say, as we were on the trail, hold on Virginia, help is on the way, the cavalry has arrived. Thank you.God bless you. And finally, want to thank my staff because I couldn\u2019t have done it without them. We were a ragtag bunch of people. We ran an impossible, improbable, campaign against, God was exactly with us, otherwise, we would never have made it and so I want to finish up by thanking you, Jesus.
