The following statement is from Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers: "I want to thank the people of Eastern Washington for their continued support and their vote. I feel good about tonight's numbers – although tonight is only the first snapshot and our final vote totals won't be known for at least another week.

A story in Sunday's Spokesman-Review reported how Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers has raised over a million dollars so far, while her Democratic opponent, Spokane psychologist Mark Mays, has raised only $36,085 .

Who says that Republicans are not environmentally aware and overall friendly people? Take the Family-Friendly Workplace Act (H.R. 6025), introduced by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers [R, WA-5] and endorsed by 11 of her best friends in the House. After all, what could be more friendly than being friendly to families.
