Brooks, who worked as a firefighter and union leader, concentrated on his blue-collar background, saying he understood the affordability issues facing voters in the Lehigh Valley battleground district. Mackenzie’s ties to President Donald Trump, who visited for a rally over the summer, failed to lift him to a second term. The Associated Press declared Brooks the winner at 10:27 p.m. EST.
