PEORIA – Congressman Darin LaHood (IL-16) released the following statement on his reelection victory:
“I am grateful to the voters in the 16th Congressional District for putting their confidence in me. It’s an honor to serve the district I grew up in and represent our Midwest values. As the representative for the 16th District, I will continue to take our commonsense, conservative principles to Washington and ensure our communities get a seat at the table for important policy discussions.
“Our country and our state face many challenges — an economy that hasn’t worked for working families, a wide open border that’s put a strain on every town, and violent crime that’s ripping through communities. Regardless of tonight’s results at the national level, I am committed to being a part of the solution to these challenges for central and northwestern Illinois.”
