about 6 years in Roll Call

Former Republican state Sen. Debbie Lesko won the special election in Arizona’s 8th District on Tuesday night, but by a relatively slim margin in a district that President Donald Trump easily carried in 2016.
With most of the votes counted, Lesko had 53 percent of the vote to 47 percent for Democrat Hiral Tipirneni, according to the Arizona Secretary of State’s office. The seat opened up after former GOP Rep. Trent Franks resigned in December amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
