Progressive Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick will win the Florida special election to fill late US Rep. Alcee Hastings' seat, CNN projects
Cherfilus-McCormick defeated Republican Jason Mariner for the heavily Democratic seat. She now heads to Washington, where she will be the first Democrat of Haitian descent to serve in Congress, according to the National Haitian American Elected Officials Network. The Democratic majority in the House now grows to 10 lawmakers ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, when President Joe Biden's party will attempt to hold on to its legislative power.

She also had a significant financial advantage thanks to her personal wealth. She loaned her campaign about $6 million while Mariner had raised about $100,000 through mid-December, according to campaign finance reports.
