Democrat Ron Barber has won a full term representing Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District, squeaking out a win over Republican Martha McSally and giving Democrats a sweep of the state’s three competitive races for House seats.
Voters decisively picked Barber to fill out the remainder of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ term in a special election in June, but last week’s election was so tight it took until yesterday before a winner was clear.
By late Friday, Barber had a 1,402-vote margin with more than 285,000 votes cast.
