Isabelle,

I was looking forward to spending many years as understudy to my friend and senior senator, John Kerry.

That time has been cut to about three weeks.

But as much as I'm going to miss him in the United States Senate, I know I speak for so many of us from Massachusetts when I say how proud we are to be sending him off as our Secretary of State.

John Kerry is having a thank you event for our constituents on Thursday night in Boston. I'll likely still be here in Washington casting votes, but in my place, I'd like to send him well wishes from thousands of people across Massachusetts and around the country.

Will you join me? Send your thanks and congratulations to John Kerry now.

For more than two decades, John has been fighting for hard-working families. He has fought tirelessly for the expansion of children's health care, greater support of small businesses, and protecting our environment.

And he's shown just as much commitment to helping families around the world. During his time on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he's made more than 90 overseas trips, working for free elections in the Philippines, AIDS relief in Africa, and assisting with diplomatic interventions in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sudan.

John Kerry is a true statesman, and he will be an extraordinary Secretary of State. I'm deeply grateful for his support, his encouragement, and most of all, his leadership. His work every day for all the people of Massachusetts and our country has been truly remarkable.
