Hoyle declared victory in a November 3 social media post, thanking voters and campaign supporters.

“I am truly honored to have been re-elected to a third term in Congress by the residents of the 4th Congressional District,” Hoyle wrote.

She credited volunteers and staff who made calls, wrote postcards and knocked on doors, describing their efforts to engage voters “from Brookings to Springfield.”

In the same post, Hoyle emphasized financial pressures facing households and pledged to advocate for working families in Congress.

“These are difficult times and far too many people are struggling simply to make ends meet,” she wrote.

Hoyle said she wanted the federal government to operate in the interests of the American people rather than a privileged few.

Her November 3 announcement represents her own declaration of victory. The unofficial tally indicates she is on track for a third term, but the election outcome has not yet been certified.
