Friends, family, supporters, and fellow Wisconsinites,
Today, we made history.
But this moment is about more than one election or one person. It is about the people of Wisconsin, about the struggles we carry, the sacrifices we make, and the hope that keeps us moving forward.
It belongs to the parents working long hours to provide for their children. To the families doing everything they can to make ends meet. To the neighbors who have faced loss, uncertainty, and setbacks, yet still find the strength to get up and try again.
It belongs to everyone who has ever wondered whether their voice mattered or whether someone like them could make a difference.
Your voice matters. Your story matters. And this victory belongs to you.
My own journey has been shaped by hardship, sacrifice, and the belief that a better tomorrow is possible. As a Hmong refugee, I carry the history of my family and community with humility. I am here because of the sacrifices of those who came before me and because so many Wisconsinites believed in what we could do together.
To every friend and neighbor who stood with us: thank you. You knocked on doors, made calls, donated, shared your stories, and gave this campaign your heart. Through every conversation and every act of kindness, you showed me Wisconsin at its best.
To our volunteers, endorsers (specifically Senator Baldwin and Former Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton) donors, mentors, community partners, and leaders: thank you for trusting us and for believing in this journey.
To my mom, my dad, my stepmom, Fong, Bee Van, Kim, VP, Toua, Matthew, Cinda, Pa Yiar, Dr. Chungyia, Maiyoua, Mary, Mary Lou, Dr. Maysee, Thay, Dawn, Dr. Chia, Dr. Thomas, Dr. Chava, Lar Kong, Ntxhais, Nate, Vik, Meilyn, Steve, Victor, Dao, Xue, Vue, Vaming, John, Lee, Roger, Ntxoovpos, Bee Kevin, Pasoua, Zoov Lag, Dr. Ming, Kyle, Charlie, Phil, Maura, Mike, Ian, Jennifer, Abigale, Chandra, Garren and so many more people, you have been my strength through every step of this journey. I love you, and I am grateful beyond words.
And Emily, my campaign manager: you walked through every high and every low with me. When the days were long and the road was hard, you kept showing up. You gave this campaign your heart and saw it through to the finish. I could not have asked for a better partner in this work, and I will never forget what you gave to it.
Mom, Dad and Stepmom: you sacrificed so much so I could stand here today. I hope you can see how far your hope has carried us.
Today, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we get to work.
I know I alone, cannot solve every challenge Wisconsin faces alone. But I promise to serve with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to expanding opportunity. I will listen, work hard, and remember the people and communities who brought us here.
Thank you, Wisconsin, for putting your trust in me. I am deeply honored to serve as your State Treasurer-elect.
Our story is still being written and we will write its next chapter together.
Yee Leng Xiong of the Wausau area will be Wisconsin’s next state treasurer. He’s the first Hmong American elected to a statewide office anywhere in the country. https://t.co/jVw6tRoudg
