Mapped: How Did Jason Smith Win Tuesday's Special Election? [View all]
Republican Jason Smith easily won a special election on Tuesday to fill Jo Ann Emerson’s vacant seat in the US House of Representatives.
It was a strong night for Smith, as the 32-year old Missouri House speaker pro tem cruised past Democratic rival Steve Hodges 67 percent to 27 percent.
The outcome was hardly unexpected, especially considering Smith had a considerable fundraising advantage.
The Eighth Congressional District is heavily conservative. The only question was whether voters would instead opt for a conservative Democrat.
