Democratic lawyer and nonprofit executive Donna Edwards won a special election Tuesday to become Maryland’s first black woman elected to Congress. Edwards beat Republican Peter James in the race to serve the remainder of former U.S. Rep. Albert Wynn’s term in Maryland’s 4th District.

Once she is sworn in, Democrats will have 236 seats in the House to Republicans’ 199. The victory also gives Edwards a chance to establish some seniority if she is elected to a full term.
