WASHINGTON (AP) Republican Jeff Crank won election to a U.S. House seat representing Colorado on Wednesday. The political consultant and talk radio host will succeed Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn, who did not seek reelection, in a district that includes Colorado Springs. Crank defeated embattled Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, in the primary. Williams, a former state lawmaker, tried to realign the state GOP with the far-right flank of the Republican party. Crank is a more traditional Republican but won Trumps endorsement in the general election.

"Jeffs experience as a small business owner and attorney has shown his dedication to Colorado, and hes ready to take on Democrats agenda of higher costs, the war on energy, and a border crisis bringing drugs and crime to their backyard.The Associated Press declared Crank the winner at 5:21 p.m. EST Wednesday.
