WASHINGTON — Democratic Congressman Dwight Evans successfully secured reelection for a U.S. House seat in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

At 70 years old, Evans was seeking his fifth full term in a district that is predominantly Democratic, located in Philadelphia.

In this election cycle, he faced no challengers in the general election, confirming his stronghold in a constituency that has consistently supported him.

Evans made his initial foray into Congress back in 2016 after a distinguished tenure as a state legislator.

Earlier this year, he shared with his constituents that he was on the mend from a minor stroke he experienced in May.
