Former congresswomen Melissa Bean called Joe Walsh to concede!
Sean Hannity announced it on air pm Tuesday!
We have a new, Pro-life congressmen after six years.
Lake County Right to Life is pleased to announce the election of Joe Walsh as the 8th Congressional District Representative.
The election results were released after all of the absentee and provisional ballots were counted. This election is a victory for the pro-life movement. Representative-elect Walsh had a 100% pro-life candidate survey and was endorsed by Lake County Life PAC, the Pro-Life Victory PAC of McHenry County and Illinois Federation for Right to Life PAC .
The Daily Herald is reporting that "With all ballots finally counted... Republican Joe Walsh appears to have pulled a stunning upset over three-term Democratic incumbent Melissa Bean". His 291 vote lead could be challenged by Congresswoman Bean, "whose only hopes now may lie in a possible recount".
The Herald also reported that "Walsh currently is attending a weeklong orientation program in Washington, D.C. for newly elected congressmen".
Joe Walsh will join a majority in the House of Representatives who will vote to protect life. An added bonus will be that our members will have a an open door and a sympathetic ear when they contact their Congressional Representative to express their concerns about the issues most important to them.
Lake County Right to Life is looking forward to a close working relationship with Representative-elect Walsh.
