Democrat Pia Dandiya won election Tuesday to the U.S. House of Representatives representing Florida’s 22nd Congressional District, defeating Republican Casey Askar. A former school principal, Dandiya won in the newly drawn, Republican friendly open seat. Askar had promised to work with President Donald Trump, who had pushed for mid-decade redistricting to help his party hold onto its House majority. The Associated Press declared Dandiya the winner at 9:11 p.m. EST.
