The contest between Bishop and McCready attracted more than $10 million in outside spending, the second-most ever for a special election for the House. The National Republican Congressional Committee and Congressional Leadership Fund, the leading pro-GOP super PAC for House races, have combined to spend more than $5 million.
McCready, a Marine veteran running in a district that hasn’t gone Democratic since the early 1960s, campaigned as a bipartisan figure who wouldn’t vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker.He identified health care as his top issue, pledging to “fix” the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Asked earlier Tuesday about some of the health care proposals among Democrats’ 2020 presidential candidates, McCready called some of them “crazy” ideas.
