#Twill I have had such a wonderful experience meeting and speaking with so many residents, business owners and voters throughout the 11th Congressional District. These people deserve better representation than the current seat holder, Bill Foster and better representation for the citizens and companies of Congressional District 11 is why I entered this race. The final votes have been tabulated; Nick Stella, MD = 22489 to Tonia Khouri = 22859, a margin of 370 votes. Wow, 370 votes! This could not have been possible without everyone involved!
So, I want to thank my family, friends, co-workers, supporters and those that placed their faith in my ability to be able to represent them and get the job done in Washington D.C. and voted for me in the Primary. I also want to thank my campaign team, and volunteers for all their efforts and dedication. The voters in the district had an excellent field of candidates this election cycle and as their time to choose has come to a close with the final votes tabulated as of Tuesday, March 29th, this primary now moves into the general election.
I want to congratulate Tonia Khouri, who has won the primary to be the next Republican nominee for the Illinois 11th Congressional District. As Tonia and I agreed to do earlier in this race - that regardless of the outcome, we would support one another, and I plan to keep my word.
Therefore, I ask those of you who supported my campaign to look towards the future to replace Bill Foster by supporting Tonia Khouri.
Congratulations Tonia and we shall see you in the up coming months. http://bit.ly/1Rszz1s
