Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing Ohio on Tuesday. Voters' decision to return Beatty to Washington for a seventh term was expected in the heavily Democratic 3rd Congressional District, which includes most of the capital city of Columbus. Beatty is a former state representative who served as the first female Democratic leader of the Ohio House. She is also past president of the Congressional Black Caucus. She defeated Republican Michael Young, a singer-songwriter, real estate developer and Air Force veteran. The Associated Press declared Beatty the winner at 8:26 p.m. EST.
