The battle for Michigan’s Eleventh Congressional district continued into the early morning hours. Republican Kerry Bentivolio and Democrat Syed Taj faced off in the district. But, Taj, who was down 6% when his election night party ended around 12:30am was not ready to give up. The Democratic candidate says he was waiting for major sections of the district – including Livonia and Troy – to be fully counted.
“If it’s conclusive we will give a statement. We will definitely. I’m not shy of the media. (laughs) (“unlike your opponent?”) Unlike my opponent, yes. (laughs)”.
Taj’s statement about media shyness is a dig at Bentivolio who has not given many interviews or public appearances during the campaign. Taj says, win-or-lose, his strong showing in a heavily Republican district wouldn’t have been possible without the support of his volunteers.
