Freedom Caucus-backed candidate wins Boehner's seat

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Freedom Caucus-backed Warren Davidson

...A busy man: Army Ranger then West Point, retired after twelve years, got an MBA and opened a small manufacturing company which has grown to 100 employees. He was briefly a township trustee, but this is his first serious foray into politics. He describes his principle concerns as "Liberty, security, and the economy."

's seat in the 8th district of Ohio.

The conservative businessman beat Democrat Corey Foister and Green Party candidate Jim Condit Jr. to take over a seat that had been held by Boehner for nearly 25 years.

We're very solidly Republican down here in the southwest corner of Ohio. If Representative Davidson does well, he should be able to hold that seat as long as he wants it.

Davidson stomped out 14 other Republicans in the March primary and had been expected to win the special election in the Republican-leaning district Tuesday.
