Cleveland’s Turner, who co-chaired Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign and touted his endorsement, had 36.5% of the votes that were tallied by the time the Associated Press called the race in her favor, compared with 63.5% for Brown, a former Cuyahoga Council member who chairs the county Democratic party and was endorsed by President Joe Biden.

Brown won the seat last year in a special election to replace longtime Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge, who left the job to become President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
