       With best wishes, I am

     that the unofficial results of the Special Election held on 
     Tuesday, November 18, 2008, for Representative to Congress 
     from the 11th Congressional District of Ohio, indicates that 
     the Honorable Marcia L. Fudge received 8,450 votes.
       Ms. Fudge was the only candidate for the office. Therefore, 
     it appears from the unofficial results that Ms. Fudge has 
     been elected as Representative to Congress of the 11th

     of Election will be prepared and transmitted as required by 
     law.
           Sincerely,
