Ryan Elijah and Darren Soto win local congressional races

Official results are in for two Central Florida elections that had been considered too close to call.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Two local congressional races have been decided.

The Associated Press called two congressional races Tuesday night, declaring wins for Republican Ryan Elijah and incumbent Democrat Darren Soto.

Elijah defeated Democrat Bale Dalton in a district covering parts of Seminole and Volusia counties.

Soto defeated Republican challenger Dan Green in a district covering parts of Orange and Osceola counties.

The district was redrawn earlier this year to add more Republican voters.

Elijah has already made his way to Washington, D.C., for new member orientation.
