Congressman Neugebauer joined KFYO's Election Coverage for an interview from the Lubbock County Republican Party headquarters at Liberty Plaza.

"It's very humbling (to be re-elected), and this is report card day for me and we've been pleased with the marks we're getting," Neugebauer said. "We pledged to listen to the people of the 19th Congressional District and then we work hard for them and that's what we exactly try to do. Evidently tonight they're going to give me an opportunity to continue to do that."
