       DISMISSING THE ELECTION CONTEST RELATING TO THE OFFICE OF 
 REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE TWENTY EIGHTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                          HON. ROBERT A. BRADY

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 19, 2013

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I agree with the majority 
that this election contest should be dismissed and that it stands 
before us without merit. The Contestant notified the House that he 
should be the winner of the election not based on the finding of any 
solid evidence but based on rumors, conjecture and hearsay.
  Contestant also raises accusations of misconduct by law enforcement 
and election officials without proof. The Contestant does not support 
any of his arguments with specific creditable evidence. Based on this, 
I am voting to grant the Contestee relief by disposing of this contest.
  My only regret is that the House was not able to dismiss this 
frivolous contest earlier in the 113th Congress.
