Tom Tiffany will serve as the next representative of Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District.
Tiffany, a Republican, was elected Tuesday, beating out Democrat Tricia Zunker for the seat during a special election.
With 99% of the precincts reporting, Tiffany received 57% of the vote to Zunker's 43%. The results in Marathon County closely mirrored the district, with Tiffany winning almost 59% of the vote there to Zunker's 41% in the county.
Tiffany is facing a quick turnaround after the election. He will be expected in Washington, D.C., starting next week to begin serving in Congress. Tiffany also faces another campaign season, too.

Wait until the mail-in and harvested ballots have been counted. Not over yet.

#1, let’s pray Wisconsin has more honest voting dairy farmers than Orange County CA did, reversing five GOP wins in ‘18!

CA looks good also. The media desperately wanted a Democrat win there. I don't know much about him but the California candidate seemed ideal. A very bright Latin war vet.
We need large full scale riots in CA. Maybe some of the usually uninformed are waking up.

I read an article yesterday that said the special Congressional races in Wisconsin and California could showcase a new 'blue wave' for November. It never occurred to them that Republicans could win both races.

Congratulations, Rep. Tiffany. I, too, hope this is the start of the dim purge. More to come. Let's roll.

now I'm waiting for the Fox News voice of doom, Chris Wallace, to tell us 'the closeness of the race should be seen as a warning to Trump.'

This is a sprawling district that covers Wisconsin's northwest to Lake Superior. It was historically Republican until won by Dave Obey in '69 to replace Mel Laird. Tiffany's 14-point margin was closer than PDT winning by 20 points. That is what the Dems consider a "victory".

Prepare yourselves for many more democrat defeats over the next year or two. They have failed miserably and people are steamed, even on their side of the aisle. If Tiffany just shows up in Washington he will have accomplished more than the entire House has done since 2016.

Only a Democrat could lose by 14 points and say the loss sets up a win in November.

Governor Evers, a Democrat puppet, refused twice to put this contest on ballots with other elections. He chose to make it as inconvenient as possible. Good for Tom Tiffany winning!

Vote harvesting be damned, Orange County’s voters will bounce every congressidiot out of office come November. Harley Rouda - who’s only platform was that Dana Rohrabacher was old and out of touch - note had nothing to go on. Both Rouda and that Rosie O’Donnell doppelgänger down in south county - both blew their wad early on endorsing impeachment. Sure that idea may resonate in a Maxine Waters-type district, but. It in bloody Orange County, where the Republican majority is still +5 to +7 in those two areas. And, to cross party lines, the public is amped and ticked off about Derr Fuhrer Brylcreme Newsom’s suspension of freedoms, especially in coastal OC. And that anger will be taken out against the carpetbagger and the Rosie clone.
I see Republicans taking at least three seats back in OC. Do you hear that sound? That’s the burgeoning sounds of not only the death rattle of the Democratic Party in the OC, but also the pitchforks and torches being ready by the masses.
November will be the political equivalent of Gallipoli, as Democrats run aimlessly and fruitlessly against the “bullets” of the silent (and angry) majority.

In California 25 (Los Angeles and Ventura counties) fighter pilot Mike Garcia is up 11%. However, because Communists harvest so many mail-in fraudulent ballots the race is called too close to call. California has become a lawless state teeming with masses of Democrats that do not want to return to work.

#18, Garcia holds the lead now, but news reports say that there are a large number of uncounted ballots and mail in ballots can still arrive by this Friday so long as they are postmarked in time. So vote counting will continue for a while. This has got to stop in California, it's ridiculous!
