From the Macon Telegraph (Georgia), about the moderate-liberal Democrat: "Democratic incumbent Sanford Bishop -- representing a district spreading
from Columbus to Albany to Macon -- cruised to victory Tuesday night
over Republican challenger John House in the race for U.S. House of
Representatives 2nd Congressional District. 'I’m just grateful that people of the 2nd Congressional District have
once again trusted me with this public responsibility to go to
Washington and act for and in their behalf. I pledge that I will not
betray their trust,' said Bishop via phone during his campaign
celebration at a Hilton Garden Inn in Albany."
More: "Bishop easily carried Columbus, home to House, a U.S. Army retiree
who lives in the Midland area of the city. Unofficial vote totals
compiled by the Ledger-Enquirer showed Bishop with 34,621 votes, or 72.4
percent, compared to 13,168, or 27.6 percent, for House. District-wide,
with 26 of 29 counties reporting late Tuesday night, the incumbent’s
vote total was 158,453, or 63.7 percent, with 90,385 votes for House, or
36.3 percent."
