                                     House of Representatives,

     Administrator, Maryland State Board of Elections, indicating 
     that, according to the preliminary results of the Special 
     Election held April 28, 2020, the Honorable Kweisi Mfume was 
     elected Representative to Congress for the Seventh 
     Congressional District, State of Maryland.
       With best wishes, I am,
           Sincerely,
     Cheryl L. Johnson.
                                  ____



                            Maryland State Board of Elections,

                                    Annapolis, MD, April 30, 2020.
     Hon. Cheryl L. Johnson,
     Clerk, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Johnson: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, April 28, 
     2020, for Representative in Congress from the 7th 
     Congressional District of Maryland, show that Mr. Kweisi 
     Mfume received 83,868 votes as of April 29, 2020 or 72.8% of 
     votes of the number of votes cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Mr. 
     Mfume was elected as Representative in Congress from the 7th 
     Congressional District of Maryland. 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 the Board of Canvassers, an official Certificate of 
     Election will be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Linda H. Lamone,
     State Administrator.
