Shea Porter says that she is proud to have earned the support of so many people in the first district.

"You actually believed that your opinion counts in Washington, and that you have a right to be heard in Washington, and that working men and women have a right to expect a representative to speak up for them in Washington."

During the campaign, Shea Porter challenged Bradley's plans for the nation's troubled economy, taxes, and healthcare reform.

Her victory was part of a pattern of a Democratic sweep of all the high offices in New Hampshire.
