Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing New York on Tuesday. Stefanik has built up a national profile as an unwavering ally of former President Donald Trump and as a sharp-tongued partisan critic. First elected to Congress in 2014 at age 30, she eventually shed her early reputation as a moderate Republican and rose to become the highest-ranking woman in the House Republican leadership. Stefanik represents a largely rural northern New York district that includes some of the most sparsely populated parts of the state. The Associated Press declared Stefanik the winner at 10:49 p.m. EST.
