WASHINGTON — Democratic Rep. Dwight Evans won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

Evans, 70, was running for a fifth full term in his heavily Democratic district in Philadelphia.

Evans did not have a general election opponent. He was first elected in 2016 after a long career as a state lawmaker. Evans announced in May that he was recovering from a minor stroke.
