WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Kevin McCarthy wins reelection to U.S. House in California’s 23rd Congressional District.
Congressman Kevin McCarthy released a statement on social media today addressing his election win.
“To the voters of 23rd District — I want to express my most sincere appreciation for the honor to represent our community in Congress,” he said. “As your representative, I will continue to fight for commonsense solutions to restore our way of life, rebuild our economy, and renew the American dream for all. That starts with securing more water, taking care of our veterans, and fighting back against Sacramento’s liberal agenda. Let’s get to work!”
Representative McCarthy was first elected to Congress in 2006. In 2014, he was elected Republican Leader in the House.
His opponent Kim Mangone is a U.S. Air Force veteran and systems engineer and single mom. This was her first time running for office.
