GOP picks up House seat

Republican Suzanne Miles of Owensboro has won a special election in Kentucky’s 7th House District.

Miles won by an unofficial 112 votes in her race against Democrat Kim Humphrey of Union County. The seat was formerly held by John Arnold of Sturgis, who resigned his seat among allegations of sexual harassment.

Democrats will have a 54-46 majority in the House when the Legislature convenes in January.
