Poe notes that for this election she ran as independent
candidate “an independent campaign, no political party, few organized groups,
(and) without a deep well of resources.”
“When we step on the halls of the Senate anew and
face the people, we shall carry nothing but their interest and well-being,” Poe

bearing in mind and heart that we owe the people our position,” she added.
