JET alumni Dan Seals (Democrat-Illinois) and Rob Cornilles (Republican-Oregon) both lost their bids for a Congressional seat. Had either of them won, they would have been the first JET alums in the U.S. Congress.
In Illinois’ 10th district, Robert Dold defeated Seals by a 51% to 49% margin, winning 103,274 votes to Seals’ 98,882 votes. And in Oregon’s 1st district, incumbent Democrat David Wu won a seventh term in Congress with 54% of the vote to Cornilles’ 42%.
