Former U.S. Marine Jared Golden, who often served as the lone Democrat against major party bills in Washington D.C., has won a second term in the battleground race.

Golden had 48.2 percent of the vote with 99 percent of precincts reporting as of Nov. 16, when The Associated Press called the race for him, defying the race as an opportunity for Republicans to gain more seats in the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives.
