Pro-Life Woman Wins Final US House Race of 2020

New York Rep. Claudia Tenney (R)
Last Friday, pro-life Republican Claudia Tenney declared victory in the close race for New York's 22nd congressional district seat. This comes after the courts took months to check ballots and ensure the integrity of the election- largely at the request of Tenney's Democratic opponent.

When a state judge certified the results on Feb. 5, Tenney led by the slim margin of 109 votes over Democrat Anthony Brindisi.

“We celebrate a record-breaking 30 pro-life women elected to the House as proof that life is winning in America,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, on Friday.

Ironically, Brindisi tweeted on Feb 5: "I am shocked and surprised by this decision because of the countless errors and discrepancies that have occurred throughout this initial count. I believe a full audit and hand recount is the only way to resolve this race."

Tenney's rematch with Brindisi, whom she had lost to in the 2018 election cycle, was the final race to be certified.
