Shontel Brown won a seat in Congress, according to projections from a special election in Ohio.
Former coal executive Mike Carey, a Republican, appeared on track to win a race to fill the vacancy created when former Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio) retired from representing Ohio’s 15th Congressional District. Brown, the chair of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, was projected by race trackers to win the race for a seat left vacant when former Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) joined President Joe Biden’s administration.
