WEST CHESTER, OH – Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) was re-elected today to serve Ohio's Eighth Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives for a 10th term.  Boehner released the following statement:

"There's no greater honor for me than serving the residents of southwest Ohio in Congress, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue working for the families, students, seniors, and small businesses in our communities.  In these challenging times I promise to do all I can to protect taxpayers, support our troops in harm's way and our veterans here at home, and fix a broken Washington. 

"I'm also eager to work with my colleagues to implement a rapid economic recovery plan that creates new jobs and breaks our dangerous dependence on foreign oil.  My plan will grow the economy here in Ohio and across the country without raising taxes or increasing government spending.

"I'm humbled by the support I've received and look forward to keeping up the fight in Congress for the principles of freedom, opportunity, security, and individual liberty."

Boehner represents Ohio's Eighth Congressional District, which includes all of Darke, Miami and Preble counties, most of Butler and Mercer counties, and the northeastern corner of Montgomery County.
