                                     House of Representatives,

                                  Washington, DC, August 12, 2022.
     Hon. Nancy Pelosi,

       Dear Madam Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     scanned copy of a letter received from Mr. Steve Simon, 
     Secretary of State of Minnesota, indicating that, according 
     to the unofficial results for the Special Election held 
     August 9, 2022, the Honorable Brad Finstad was elected for 
     Representative to Congress for the First Congressional 
     District, State of Minnesota.
       With best wishes, I am,
           Sincerely,
                                                Cheryl L. Johnson,
     Clerk.
                                  ____

         State of Minnesota,


                       Office of Minnesota Secretary of State,

                                                  August 10, 2022.
     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, August 9, 
     2022, for Representative in Congress from the 1st 
     Congressional District of Minnesota, show that Brad Finstad 
     received 59,797 votes, or 50.77% of the 117,784 votes cast 
     for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Brad 
     Finstad was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     1st Congressional District of Minnesota.
       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 and canvassed by the State 
     Canvassing Board, and the times for requesting a recount, 
     filing a contest, or the statutorily required seven day 
     waiting period, have expired, an official Certificate of 
     Election will be prepared for transmittal as required by 
     Minnesota law.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Steve Simon,
     Secretary of State of Minnesota.
