Connie Conway won the special runoff election for the congressional seat previously held by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), who resigned in January to lead former President Donald Trump’s social media platform.

Conway, a Trump-endorsed Republican and lifelong resident of California’s Central Valley, earned 59.5 percent percent of the vote, leading Democratic opponent Lourin Hubbard who received 40.5 percent, with an estimated 65 percent of the votes counted.
