NRCC Celebrates David Jolly's Win Over Alex Sink

Republicans are celebrating at the national level as David Jolly beat out Democrat former state CFO Alex Sink in a special election in Pinellas County.

U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), offered his take on Tuesday night.

I want to extend a big congratulations to David Jolly on his victory tonight, Walden said. David proved that Pinellas County voters are tired of the devastating policies of this administration. Throughout this campaign, David has outlined his vision on how to grow the economy, create jobs and deliver quality health care for Pinellas families.

Tonight, one of Nancy Pelosis most prized candidates was ultimately brought down because of her unwavering support for Obamacare, and that should be a loud warning for other Democrats running coast to coast, added Walden. Pinellas County voters have made the right choice; David will be a dedicated and thoughtful representative for them in Congress.
