(The Center Square) - Democratic candidate Rebecca Bennett won the race for New Jersey’s seventh congressional district Tuesday night.

Bennett overcame Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., with 60.8% of the vote and 65.4% of votes counted as of 9:52 pm Tuesday night, according to NBC News. The race in New Jersey represented a clear test of partisan control in Congress, in a competition that was once rated a “toss up” by the Cook Political Report
