Candidate for U.S. Congress Julie Lassa concedes the race for Wisconsin's seventh congressional district seat to Republican opponent Sean Duffy. Lassa released the following statement:
"I congratulate Mr. Duffy and will work with him to create good-paying, family supporting jobs to drive Wisconsin forward.
"Thank you to the workers and families across northern and central Wisconsin who supported my campaign to bring our common-sense values to Washington and who believe that a strong middle class is the ticket to a strong economy. Thank you for taking the time to knock doors, make telephone calls, and volunteer your time and energy to the strong grassroots campaign we built together. I am so grateful for your support and for what we were able to accomplish in just five and a half months."
