Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician, is projected to win his race to serve as the next representative of Texas’s Congressional District 13 in the House of Representatives. The Associated Press called the race at 9:30 p.m. CDT.
Jackson, who served three presidents and ran a campaign based on his close relationship with the president, is projected to beat Democratic nominee Gus Trujillo and Libertarian candidate Jack Westbrook. If he wins, Jackson will replace retiring Rep. Mac Thornberry—the House Armed Services Committee’s top Republican—who held the seat for 26 years.
