Democrat wins House seat
Times Wire Reports
Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy came from behind to capture a congressional seat from House Republicans after officials tallied provisional ballots.
Kilroy’s victory by a little more than 2,000 votes over Republican Steve Stivers put the 15th Congressional District seat into Democratic hands after the retirement of Republican Deborah Pryce.
County officials released unofficial results that showed Kilroy ahead by 2,311 votes out of roughly 300,000 cast, enough to avoid an automatic recount.
