Shontel Brown will win Ohio seat once held by Rep. Marcia Fudge, CNN projects

CNN PROJECTION: Democrat Shontel Brown will win Ohio’s 11th district special election to succeed Marcia Fudge, who resigned the seat to become Biden’s Housing and Urban Development secretary

CNN projected Brown's win over Republican candidate Laverne Gore, on Tuesday.Brown's victory is not expected to impact the balance of power for the US House of Representatives, where Democrats hold a slim 3-seat majority. That's because Ohio is having another special election in the 15th congressional district to fill the seat of GOP Rep. Steve Stivers, who resigned earlier this year.

Brown also committed to ensuring equity among Covid-19 relief efforts and maternal health.Read MoreGore, also a native of Cleveland and a businesswoman, campaigned on reducing welfare, promoting police training and improving the illiteracy rate.

Brown was a favorite to win the seat in the heavily Democratic, Cleveland-based district where President Joe Biden won 80% of the vote.
