“First and
foremost, I want to thank the voters of the 18th Congressional
District for entrusting me to serve them in Washington. I’d also
like to thank my opponent for a hard fought campaign and my wife,
Kristen, and our three boys for standing by my side every step of
the way over the last six months.
“Throughout this campaign, our volunteers and supporters worked
tirelessly to spread our message of getting our economy back on
track, reigning in government overspending, and fighting for term
limits by knocking on more than 80,000 doors and making over 90,000
phone calls. For that, I cannot thank them enough.
“Six months ago I decided to run for Congress because of my three
boys. I want to ensure that they have the same opportunities that I
had. I’m going to go to Washington to fight for a better future for
the kids and grandchildren of Central and West Central Illinois. Its
time for reform in Washington. We must resolve our $18 trillion
debt, create openness and transparency in government, fight for term
limits, and repeal and replace ObamaCare.
“As I prepare to head to Washington, I am humbled and honored for
the opportunity to serve the families of Central and West Central
Illinois. I am excited to get to work and make sure that
conservative common sense has a place in Washington.”
[Congressman elect for the 18th
Congressional district, Darin LaHood] |
