                                             State of Arizona,

                                       Phoenix, AZ, June 13, 2012.
     Hon. Karen L. Haas,
     Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives, The Capitol, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, June 12, 
     2012, for Representative in Congress from the Eighth 
     Congressional District of Arizona, show that Ron Barber 
     received 101,559 or 52.02 percent of the total number of 
     votes cast for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Ron 
     Barber was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Eighth Congressional District of Arizona.
       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 the election has been 
     officially canvassed, an official Certificate of Election 
     will be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Amy B. Chan,
     State Election Director.
