                                     House of Representatives,

     Hon. Paul D. Ryan,

       Dear Mr. Speaker: I have the honor to transmit herewith a 
     facsimile copy of a letter received from Ms. Patricia Wolfe, 
     Elections Administrator, State of Ohio, indicating that, 
     according to the preliminary results of the Special Election 
     held June 7, 2016, the Honorable Warren Davidson was elected 
     Representative to Congress for the Eighth Congressional 
     District, State of Ohio.
       With best wishes, I am,
           Sincerely,
                                                    Karen L. Haas,
     Clerk.
                                  ____



                                      Ohio Secretary of State,

                                     Columbus, Ohio, June 8, 2016.
     Hon. Karen L. Haas,
     Clerk, House of Representatives,
     Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Haas: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, June 7, 
     2016, for Representative in Congress from the Eighth 
     Congressional District of Ohio, show that Warren Davidson 
     received 21,537 or 76.79% of the total number of votes cast 
     for that office.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Warren 
     Davidson was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     Eighth Congressional District of Ohio.
       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 Eighth Congressional District of Ohio boards of 
     elections involved, an official Certificate of Election will 
     be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
           Sincerely,
                                                   Patricia Wolfe,
     Elections Administrator.
