After securing his seat in the halls of Congress, Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) thanked all of his supporters on Twitter.

"I am so humbled to have received such overwhelming support from the people of Montana," Rosendale wrote. "I cannot wait to get to work for you in Congress! #mtal #mtpol"

Residents of the State of Montana would have to admit that the U.S. House race was one of the more competitive races in the country. However, Rosendale won his seat by a landslide.

Rosendale won the seat with 56.2% of the total votes. Officials report that Rosendale received a 72,922-vote advantage over Democrat Kathleen Williams, who only received 43.7% of the total votes. 

In his victory speech, Rosendale centered on health care, a policy that Democrats considered his weakness.

“I know what Montanans are facing right now, and it’s not easy," Rosendale said in his speech. "We need to focus on getting the people of our state, and our nation, healthy again, and getting our economy back on track. We need to focus on fixing our nation’s health care system, protecting pre-existing conditions, and providing quality, affordable care.”
