FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 22, 2008
ALEXANDRIA, VA Republican Tom Kovach won the special election for the 6th District of the Delaware House this past Saturday, which includes part of Vice President-elect Joe Biden's hometown, continuing a streak of Republicans winning at the state and federal level following the November Presidential Election. Just last week, Joan Huffman came from behind to win in a run-off election for the Texas Senate. The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) today congratulates Kovach on his election and notes that his win keeps the Democrats from having a three-fifths majority stopping Democrats from being able to pass tax bills without Republican consent. Kovach won the special election to replace Diana McWilliams, a Democrat who resigned her seat to take a job in New Mexico.

INCLUDES PART OF BIDEN'S HOMETOWN-
The RSLC congratulates Tom Kovach on his important win for the people of the sixth district and all of Delaware, especially since it keeps the Democrats in check on budget and tax bills, said RSLC President Scott Ward. With Kovach's win this weekend and Joan Huffman's win for the Texas Senate last week, this continues the Republican streak of winning at the state and federal level following the November Presidential Election.We are working to rebuild the Republican Party by building a farm team for the future at the state level and are proud that Tom Kovach will be a part of the team.
The RSLC continues to demonstrate success in helping elect strong, common sense leaders to down-ticket offices even in difficult political environments, added Ward. Kovach's win in Joe Biden's backyard is certainly something to be excited about.
The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) is the only national organization whose mission is electing Republicans to the office of Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State and State Legislator. The RSLC is the largest caucus of Republican state leaders in the country making a national impact one state at a time.
The RSLC has over 70,000 donors from all 50 states supporting the RSLC's goals to pursue a pro-growth agenda, including: reforming the tax code, healthcare and legal systems; promoting a better educational system; encouraging sound energy initiatives; and advocating public safety through tough, crime-fighting policies. During the 2008 election the RSLC helped maintain the number of Republican Attorneys General and Lieutenant Governors across the U.S. In addition, the RSLC was able to deliver new Republican majorities in the Montana, Oklahoma and Tennessee state senates, as well as an unprecedented majority in the Tennessee House of Representatives.
