On Tuesday, Republican Representative Carol Miller successfully secured reelection to her U.S. House seat representing the state of West Virginia.
Miller triumphed over both a Democratic challenger and an independent candidate, marking her fourth consecutive term in office.
With this victory, she becomes only the third woman from West Virginia to hold a position in Congress, highlighting her significant achievement in a traditionally male-dominated arena.
Notably, West Virginia has not elected a Democrat to the U.S. House since 2012, reflecting a broader trend in the state’s political landscape.
Additionally, West Virginia stands out as one of the only two states where former President Donald Trump achieved a win in every county during both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Miller’s congressional district encompasses the southern region of West Virginia, an area she is well-acquainted with given her past service, which includes six terms in the West Virginia House of Delegates.
The announcement of her victory was made by the press around 8:36 p.m. EST, affirming her continued presence in the House.
