Yesterday, Democratic congressional candidate Scott Harper lost his race against 13th District GOP Rep. Judy Biggert by a ten point margin -- 54-44 percent. Here's a statement he released this morning:
Although we fell short in our campaign for change, we came closer than any Democrat in more than two decades to winning back this seat and we made great strides that will undoubtedly help to change the political landscape of this district for years to come.
We are honored and humbled to have earned more votes than any Democratic candidate in the history of the 13th District and we are proud that we stayed focused on the issues that matter most.

Scott and his staff and volunteers run a wonderful campaign. His campaign along with a number of others prove that the Democratic party is alive and well in DuPage and Will Counties
