BELLEVUE, WA (Nov. 3) – Democratic candidate Darcy Burner issued the following statement in response to the decision by the Associated Press to call Washington State’s 8th Congressional District race:
“It is likely at this point that Congressman Reichert has won re-election, and while we will certainly ensure that every valid vote is counted, we accept the decision of the voters.
“I would like to thank the thousands of people who put so much time and effort into the campaign, as well as the countless thousands more who went beyond voting to actively participate in our democratic process this year. The election of Barack Obama as our new President will ensure that the change to the direction of our country called for in this campaign is realized in the new year.”
