Coal lobbyist Mike Carey won Tuesday's Republican primary for Ohio's 15th Congressional District, The Associated Press reports.
Carey was backed by former President Donald Trump. This was a closely watched House race, since the candidate that Trump supported in Texas' 6th Congressional District, Susan Wright, lost in last week's special election. Steve Stivers, a moderate Republican, previously held the seat in Ohio's 15th Congressional District, and endorsed GOP state Rep. Jeff LaRe in the primary.
