Florida GOP Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar was projected Tuesday night to win another term in the lower chamber, according to the Associated Press.

The AP called the race for Salazar one week after the election, and she narrowly beat Democratic challenger Elliott Rodriguez with 50.2% of the vote. Rodriguez secured 49.8% and the pair were separated by approximately one thousand votes.

Salazar represents the 27th congressional district, which includes parts of Miami. The district is typically Republican-leaning and overwhelmingly Hispanic. 

The lawmaker's win comes after President Donald Trump endorsed her in August. It also comes as the state remained largely conservative this election, with GOP Rep. Byron Donalds winning the governor's mansion. Republican Sen. Ashley Moody also won her race.

The win also comes after Democrats won control of both chambers of the U.S. Congress in last week's midterms. Republicans will lead until January.
