Tribal-friendly Republican wins close House race
Republican Tom McClintock defeated Democrat Charlie Brown in a tight U.S. House race for the 4th Congressional district in California.

As a state lawmaker, McClintock earned praise for his views on tribal sovereignty. When he ran for governor in the state's 2003 recall election, he received $2.7 million in tribal contributions. He endorsed the four tribal gaming propositions that were approved by voters in February.

McClintock replaces Rep. John Doolittle (R-California), who retired amid an investigation into his ties to jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
