Eyewitness
News, along with other media outlets, have declared U.S. Representative
Richard Hanna the winner of the 2012 Republican Primary.
Among
the power of incumbency, a healthy campaign war chest, and support from
Tuesday's voting Republicans, the freshman representative has defeated
Congressional hopeful
and tea party supported Michael Kicinski, of Earlville. From the early
returns throughout the Tuesday primary evening election returns, Mr.
Hanna never appeared to be in jeopardy of losing to Mr. Kicinski at any
time, or in any county encompassed by the newly
redistricted 22nd Congressional District.
With 549 of 550 precincts reporting, here are the numbers as of 11:30 p.m. (26 June 2012):
Richard Hanna: 9,578 votes
Michael Kicinski, Sr.: 2,743 votes
