Howard Wilkinson's Politics Chat: A Relative Handful Of 8th District Voters Chose A New Congressman

WVXU-FM

WVXU politics reporter Howard Wilkinson talked with news director Maryanne Zeleznik Wednesday morning about the election Tuesday of businessman and former soldier Warren Davidson, a Republican, to the 8th Congressional District seat vacated by John Boehner's resignation last fall. Davidson won with a massive vote, 77 percent, but only about six percent of the district's 471,273 voters bothered to cast a ballot. 

Howard Wilkinson is in his 50th year of covering politics on the local, state and national levels.
