Ivester statement

I congratulate my democratic opponent Mr. Johnson on his 60% to 40% victory in the Tenth District.  I wish him every success in November.  I have consistently said that I would support the democratic voter’s choice in this important election.  I would like to thank all of my supporters and everyone who voted for me.  I would particularly like to thank my supporters in Cleveland County where I carried more than 57% of the vote. 

Sincerely,
Steve Ivester
