Republican Juan Ciscomani was elected to the U.S. House in Arizona's 6th Congressional District, defeating Democrat Kirsten Engel, the Associated Press projects.
In his spotlight, he told the story of his family who migrated to the United States from Mexico when he was a child.
"Four a.m. That's when my father woke up every day when I was a kid. He brought our family to America and drove a bus for 20 years,"."Only in America could a first-generation immigrant come to this country with nothing and have the opportunity to represent their community in the United States Congress. Only in America."
Engel was the Democratic candidate competing against Ciscomani for the House seat. The Democrat formerly served as an Arizona State Senator in the state's 10th District and also represented Tuscon in the state legislature.
