     Hon. Cheryl L. Johnson,

       Dear Ms. Johnson: This is to advise you that the unofficial 
     results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, June 23, 
     2020, for Representative in Congress from the 27th 
     Congressional District of New York, show that Chris Jacobs 
     received 81,034 of the total number of votes cast for that 
     office.
       Chris Jacobs--81,034;
       Nathan D. McMurray--72,887;
       Michael J. Gammariello--995;
       Duane Whitmer--1,419.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Chris 
     Jacobs was elected as Representative in Congress from the 
     27th Congressional District of New York.
       To the best of our knowledge and belief at this time, there 
     is no contest to this election.

     office by all (Part of Erie, Genesee, Livingston, Part of 
     Monroe, Part of Niagara, Part of Ontario, Orleans and Wyoming 
     Counties) involved, an official Certificate of Election will 
     be prepared for transmittal as required by law.
