'I know I did not come to the U.S. Senate in the same way you did,' Ms. Carnahan said in remarks to her new Senate colleagues. 'I did not have a long-term, personal commitment to a campaign. My name has never been on a ballot. On election night there was no victory celebration. You are here because of your win; I am here because of my loss.'
