WASHINGTON,
D.C. –
Following tonight’s special elections in Florida, Republican National Committee
(RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley congratulated Congressmen-Elect Jimmy Patronis
(FL-01) and Randy Fine (FL-06) on their decisive victories. With these
wins, Republicans further strengthened their majority over the Democrats in the
House of Representatives.
“The American people sent a clear message tonight: they want elected officials
who will advance President Trump’s America First agenda, and their votes can’t
be bought by national Democrats,” said Chairman Whatley. “Democrats
dumped more than $15 million into these races in a desperate attempt to change
the narrative in Washington, but it was no match for the greatest turnout force
in modern politics: President Donald Trump. I’m proud of the RNC’s efforts in
Florida to help secure these seats for President Trump, and I’m excited to
continue our work protecting the ballot and growing our Republican majorities
in Congress.”
