Francis Rooney-52.73%
After pouring in over $1 million of his own wealth, and scoring numerous top name endorsements, Rooney was able to crush his two opponents, Chauncey Goss and Dan Bongino to win the congressional nomination.
Because this seat leans Republican, Rooney is all but assured to be the next member of U.S. House of Representatives from this part of the country.Rooney was considered by many to be the “establishment” candidate in the race, even though he was able to garner the support from the likes of Dr. Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, U.S. Senator Tom Cotton, Ambassador John Bolton, as well as the support from true establishment types like former U.S. Senator Mel Martinez.
In reality, Rooney may have been the consensus candidate all along.
