                                     House of Representatives,

                                 Washington, DC, November 5, 2014.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     scanned copy of a letter received from Ms. Kim Strach, 
     Executive Director of the North Carolina State Board of 
     Elections, indicating that, according to the preliminary 
     results of the Special Election held November 4, 2014, the 
     Honorable Alma Adams was elected Representative to Congress 
     for the Twelfth Congressional District, State of North 
     Carolina.
       With best wishes, I am
           Sincerely,
                                                    Karen L. Haas,
                                                            Clerk.
       Enclosure.
                                  ____

                                                    North Carolina


                                     State Board of Elections,

                                    Raleigh, NC, November 5, 2014.
     Hon. Karen L. Haas,
     Clerk, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: This is to advise that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, November 4, 
     2014, for Representative in Congress from the Twelfth 
     Congressional District of North Carolina show, that Alma 
     Adams received 126,766 votes or 75.41% of the total number of 
     votes cast for that office. Provisional ballots have not been 
     counted.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Alma 
     Adams was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Twelfth Congressional District of North Carolina.
       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, an official Certificate of 
     Election will be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
           Sincerely,
                                                       Kim Strach,
     Executive Director.
