WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, issued the following statement after the Associated Press called the presidential election:

“The votes have been counted, the American people have spoken, and they chose Joe Biden to serve as our next President. We have to find a way to come together, bridge divisions, and focus on solutions that help the millions who are struggling. I am raising my hand and committing to working with President-elect Biden and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in Congress to do exactly that. As Frederick Douglass said, “I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.”
