Republican Mike Carey has won a special election in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District, and will replace former Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio) in Congress, according to projections from The Associated Press.
Carey, a former coal executive who is backed by former President Donald Trump, was projected to have defeated Democrat Allison Russo on Tuesday. The seat was formerly held by Stivers, a Republican, before he departed Congress in April to become the president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.
