First District Congressional seat captured by Roe

Several people from Hawkins County traveled to Johnson City election night to celebrate Dr. Phil Roe's victory in the First District Congressional race. It was clearly a nail-biter because of low voter turn-out across the First District. Also, it has been many years since an incumbent congressman has been unseated. Dr. Roe told his audience that his victory was due to the grass-roots organization in each county. We would like to thank our current congressman David Davis for his years of service to the people of the First District and wish all the best in his future endeavors.
