Derek Merrin won Ohio’s 9th Congressional District’s Republican Primary and will now face Ohio Democratic U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur in the Nov. 3 election, the Associated Press projected Tuesday.

Former Ohio state Rep. Derek Merrin will compete against Kaptur, who has represented Ohio’s 9th congressional district since 1983 — making her the longest-serving woman in congressional history.

Results will remain unofficial until they are certified by election officials later this month.
