Democrat Annie Andrews, a pediatrician, won the South Carolina U.S. Senate race on Tuesday.
In the process, she became the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from the deeply conservative state in a generation.
Andrews defeated incumbent Sen. Darline Graham, who has been serving as interim senator since her brother, Lindsey Graham, died earlier this year.
During her victory speech on election night, Andrews thanked "the Republicans, independents, and Democrats who took a chance on a pediatrician and a mom of three" because they "believed that South Carolina should come first."
"South Carolina, my name may have been on the ballot. But this victory doesn't belong to me," she said. "It belongs to all of you."
