Democrat Doris Matsui won election Tuesday to the U.S. House of Representatives representing California’s 7th Congressional District, defeating Democrat Mai Vang. Matsui was born in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. She has represented Sacramento in Congress since 2005, when she won a special election to replace her husband after he died. Vang, 41, argued for generational change and urged voters to replace Matsui, 82. The Associated Press declared Matsui the winner at 7:46 p.m. EST.
