RYAN HIGGINS WINS REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN 56^th DISTRICT
Thankful for support of Republican and Independent voters in Schaumburg, Bloomingdale, and Palatine Townships

ROSELLE, IL - Ryan Higgins, candidate for State Representative in the 56^th District, declared victory tonight in his quest for the Republican nomination.  Higgins was victorious over his opponent Anita Forte-Scott.  With  96% of precincts reporting, Higgins was leading Forte-Scott 70.4% to 29.6%.

“I am truly humbled by the support I have received from Republican and independent voters in the 56^th District.  I am thankful for the hard work our volunteers have put into this campaign and could not have accomplished this without the strong support of the Schaumburg, Bloomingdale, and Palatine Township Republican organizations.”

A Schaumburg resident, Higgins said he looks forward to the general election.

 ”While we have accomplished so much over the last six months, we still have a long road ahead of us,” added Higgins.  “I look forward to continuing our campaign and changing the way things are done in Springfield.”
