       Re Unofficial results of the April 24, 2018 Special General 
     Election.

     Hon. Karen L. Haas,
     Clerk, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: This letter is to advise you that the 
     unofficial results of the Special General Election held on 
     Tuesday, April 24, 2018, for the office of U.S. 
     Representative in Congress--District 8, the remainder of the 
     term ending January 3, 2019, show that Debbie Lesko received 
     96,012 votes, or 52.4% of the total number of votes cast for 
     that office.
       It would appear that from these unofficial results that 
     Debbie Lesko was elected as U.S. Representative in Congress--
     District 8, for the remainder of the term ending January 3, 
     2019.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief, no forthcoming 
     results will affect the outcome of the election, and there is 
     no contest to the election at this time.
       As soon as the official results are certified to this 
     office by Maricopa County, our office will complete the 
     official State Canvass of Results and an official Certificate 
     of Election will be prepared for transmittal as required by 
     law.
       If you have any questions regarding this matter, please 
     contact State Election Director Eric Spencer.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Michele Reagan,
     Arizona Secretary of State.
