Did they win? And if so, have they said anything yet?

1. Keith Ellison, endorsed by ImpeachPAC
Sadly he's the only one endorsed by the PAC who made it. Although if these rumours about Hastert resigning before January, we could add John Laesch to that equation

2. Would Laesch immediately get the seat, or would an election be
necessary, and what political stripe is the governor there?

4. We're talking a House seat, so a Special Election
Probably in late winter/early Spring, judging from this scenario

You only need to worry about governors for the Senate

5. Here's a list of candidates endorsed by the Impeach PAC
http://impeachpac.org/candidates

Out of 21 candidates (mostly House Races) that ran in the general election that got an endorsement or were pro impeachment, just one won.

Keith Ellison
