Dem wins New Hampshire seat in Trump district
By Reid Wilson - 02/27/18 07:57 PM EST
Democrats picked up another special election victory Tuesday, winning a legislative seat in a New Hampshire district where President Trump beat Hillary Clinton by a 13-point margin in 2016.
Voters in Laconia chose Philip Spagnuolo, a substance abuse counselor, over former state employee Les Cartier. The district had come open when state Rep. Donald Flanders (R) died in September.
It is the latest in a string of special elections Democrats have won in Republican-held territory. Just this year, Democrats have picked off GOP-held seats in Missouri, Florida, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
