The Democratic U.S. congresswoman and former Orlando Police chief grabbed the national spotlight as an impeachment manager for proceedings against President Trump, and a fiery speaker during the hearings. Demings also serves on the powerful House Intelligence Committee.
Early results saw Demings receive 63 percent of the vote – 237,189 votes – over her Republican opponent Vennia Francois’s 136,019.
“I cannot begin to tell you how honored I am, and what a privilege it is for me to serve the constituents of Congressional District 10 for a third term,” said Demings, shortly after her victory was announced.
We can’t resist noting that Demings was one of Orlando Weekly‘s “People We Love” for 2020.
