The Global Citizen: Joe Sestak
Citizens for Global Solutions is pleased to announce that a majority of our endorsed candidates were elected to Congress on Tuesday, with 74% of the House and Senate candidates endorsed winning in both chambers. While there are still a total of 14 races undecided, it appears that next Congress we will have 144 House Members and 10 Senators that we have built relationships with through our Global Solutions PAC. While 61% of the approximately $23,000 contributed to House races went to winners, only 29% of $22,500 contributed to Senate campaigns went to winners.
Of course there were some stunning defeats. The loss of Sen. Feingold will be felt far and wide, and the defeat of Rep. Sestak is particularly hard.
But Tuesday's election by and large proved that Americans continue to reject platforms that are out of the mainstream. Politics appears, for the time being, to have been stopped at the water's edge.
As the Congressional Quarterly forecasted, Joe Sestak, who was running for re-election outwitted Republican Williams Wendell in the 7th district in Pennsylvania, by a terrific 20% receiving 60% of total votes. Before election, his popularity proved by a great success in fundraising for his campaign. He raised six times more than his Republican opponent, which turned out to be his great advantage.
