       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     scanned copy of a letter received from Ms. Kim Strach, 
     Executive Director of the North Carolina State Board of 
     Elections, indicating that, according to the preliminary 
     results of the Special Election held November 4, 2014, the 
     Honorable Alma Adams was elected Representative to Congress 
     for the Twelfth Congressional District, State of North 
     Carolina.
       With best wishes, I am
           Sincerely,
                                                    Karen L. Haas,
                                                            Clerk.

                                                    North Carolina


                                     State Board of Elections,

                                    Raleigh, NC, November 5, 2014.
     Hon. Karen L. Haas,

     Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: This is to advise that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election

[[Page H7917]]

     held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, for Representative in 
     Congress from the Twelfth Congressional District of North 
     Carolina show, that Alma Adams received 126,766 votes or 
     75.41% of the total number of votes cast for that office. 
     Provisional ballots have not been counted.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Alma 
     Adams was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Twelfth Congressional District of North Carolina.
       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.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Kim Strach,
     Executive Director.
