Representative Mark Pocan defeats Republican challenger Peter Theron for the third time and secures a fifth term with the 2nd Congressional District.
The Associated Press and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called the race in favor of Pocan at about 10:15 Tuesday night.
Pocan amassed 71.5% of the vote with 70.3% reporting as of 10:30 p.m., according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The exact margin of Pocan’s victory could change as more votes are counted.
The 2nd District includes the city of Madison, as well as the rest of Dane County, among other counties. The district covers Beloit, Edgerton, Orfordville and Green County, but most of Janesville falls under the 1st District.
