One of the most closely watched House races in the country, between Democratic Rep. Emilia Sykes and former state Sen. Kevin Coughlin, a Republican, has been called in northeast Ohio.
Democratic Rep. Emilia Sykes is projected to survive her closely watched re-election bid by defeating her GOP challenger. The Associated Press called the race for Ohio’s 13th Congressional District for Sykes over former Ohio state Sen. Kevin Coughlin on Wednesday just before 3 p.m. ET. Sykes, a first-term Democrat who won in 2022 by five points, was defending her seat in a district that includes parts of two counties that former President Trump comfortably won in 2020.
Coughlin has served in Ohio as both a state representative and state senator and has spent over 10 years since leaving office in the business sector. The Sykes campaign criticized Coughlin for his time as a lobbyist and accused him of being a 'self-serving politician' who would legislate as extreme on the issue of abortion.
Ohio's 13th District was a race that Republicans had focused time and money on after identifying it as one of their best opportunities to flip a seat and maintain control of the House.
