A decisive victory swept progressive Democrat Summer Lee into history, with her victory in Pennsylvania's newly drawn 12th Congressional District making her the first Black woman to represent the state in the U.S. House.
"We fought. We built coalitions. We brought together people who had never worked together on campaigns," Lee said late Tuesday, calling her campaign a "multi-cultural, multi-generational movement."
Mike Doyle, the Republican candidate in the race, conceded the race about 11:30 p.m., noting that "it appears (voters) have elected Summer Lee to be our next representative in Congress."
