Longtime Republican Rep. Mark Amodei defeated a challenge from Dr. Fred Simon, a former surgeon and real estate investor, in Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District, according to a race reported by the Associated Press.

Because voters in the district tend to be conservative, winning the primary is essentially the same as winning the general election.
