John Joyce wins Pennsylvania 13th: Election results 2024
Republican John Joyce has won the United States House of Representatives election for Pennsylvania's 13th congressional district.
Joyce defeated Democrat challenger EMILY KEEGAN with 65% of the vote, according to the Associated Press.
Joyce, a dentist and businessman, has served in the House since 2019.
He is a member of the House Committee on Education and Labor and the House Committee on Small Business.
Keegan, a former teacher and union leader, was making her first run for Congress.
She campaigned on a platform of increasing access to affordable healthcare, investing in education, and protecting workers' rights.
The 13th congressional district of Pennsylvania is located in the south-central part of the state.
It includes the cities of Altoona, Johnstown, and State College.
The district has been represented by a Republican since 2009.
Joyce's victory continues that trend.
Joyce's win is a blow to Democrats, who had hoped to flip the district.
It also gives Republicans a slight edge in the race for control of the House.
The balance of power in the House will not be determined until all the votes are counted.
However, Joyce's win is a sign that Republicans are well-positioned to retain control of the chamber.
