     Legislation, Pennsylvania Department of State, Commonwealth 
     of Pennsylvania, indicating that, according to the unofficial

     Honorable Mark S. Critz was elected Representative to 
     Congress for the Twelfth Congressional District, Commonwealth 
     of Pennsylvania.
       With best wishes, I am
           Sincerely,
                                               Lorraine C. Miller,
                                                            Clerk.
       Enclosure.

         Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Bureau of Commissions, 
           Elections & Legislation,
                                     Harrisburg, PA, May 19, 2010.
     Hon. Lorraine C. Miller,
     Clerk, House of Representatives, The Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Miller: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, May 18, 
     2010, for Representative in Congress from the Twelfth 
     Congressional District of Pennsylvania, show that Mark S. 
     Critz received 70,710 or 52.6% of the total number of votes 
     cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Mark S. 
     Critz was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Twelfth Congressional District of Pennsylvania.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there 
     is no contest to this election.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by all counties involved, an official Certificate of 
     Election will be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
                                                      Chet Harhut,
     Commissioner.
