TOPEKA - Representative Raj Goyle of Wichita was recognized today by House Democratic Leader Dennis McKinney for achieving a perfect attendance record during the 2007 legislative session.

"The biggest local race this election, both in money spent and political party attention, was for Kansas House District 87. I'm glad that Democrat Raj Goyle prevailed against incumbent Republican Bonnie Huy, who ran a hard-fought campaign. Goyle is just the type of smart, young professional we need more of in Topeka."

"Democrat Raj Goyle scored one of the day's biggest upsets today when he beat three-term Rep. Bonnie Huy for the District 87 Kansas House seat.

"Raj Goyle is the standout pick in this district, which includes parts of far-east and southeast Wichita. Goyle, a Democrat, is one of the most talented and promising candidates we've seen in some time -- in fact, he has star quality. He's that good.

Change is on the way in the 87th District! After months of hard work, Raj and his team are ready to bring home a historic win in the final three weeks of the campaign. Raj has spent hundreds of hours meeting people at their doorsteps and hearing their concerns.
