Analilia Mejia won New Jersey's 11th District special election, further narrowing the Republican majority in the U.S. House.
The April special election filled the seat vacated by Mikie Sherrill after she became governor and was called minutes after polls closed at 8 p.m. ET.
Mejia defeated Republican Joe Hathaway and independent Alan Bond and will serve the roughly eight months remaining in the current term.
The Associated Press and CBS projected her victory, and Democrats outnumber Republicans in NJ-11 by more than 60,000 registered voters.
