AP Race Call: Republican Nicholas Langworthy wins reelection to U.S. House in New York's 23rd Congressional District
Republican Rep. Nicholas Langworthy won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing New York on Tuesday. Langworthy defeated Democrat Thomas Carle in a district that runs nearly 190 miles along the state's border with Pennsylvania and includes some Buffalo suburbs. During his first term, Langworthy led a successful effort to preserve flight safety rules in response to the 2009 crash of Continental Flight 3407 in Clarence, New York. Langworthy is a former state Republican committee chair. He now chairs the House Aviation Safety Caucus and serves on the rules, agriculture and oversight committees.
