Ganhal thanked her team and her family, fighting back tears while her daughter joined her on stage at one point. 

She also delivered a message to Polis to be "governor for all of Colorado, not just Boulder and Denver."

When asked about whether her last-minute conservative media blitz in the days leading up to the election hurt her chances of winning, she replied that she felt it was an opportunity to bring the party together.
