Republican Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson won reelection to the U.S. House in Pennsylvania’s 15th Congressional District on Tuesday, November 3, defeating Democratic challenger Ray Bilger, according to the Associated Press.

The Associated Press called the race at 9:28 p.m. Eastern Time on Election Day. With approximately 99% of the estimated vote counted, Thompson received 63.9% (171,081 votes), compared with Bilger’s 36.1% (96,663 votes). Those totals remain unofficial.

The result keeps the north-central Pennsylvania congressional seat in Republican hands and gives Thompson another term in Congress, where he has served since January 2009.

Thompson, a Howard Township resident who has served in Congress since January 2009, chairs the House Agriculture Committee and previously worked for 28 years in rehabilitation services and healthcare administration.

Bilger, a Centre County resident, U.S. Air Force veteran and retired intelligence analyst, challenged Thompson on affordability, healthcare access and economic opportunities in rural Pennsylvania. During his 35-year career, Bilger worked with the Air Force, National Security Agency and State Department, including serving as the NSA’s technical director for cyber analysis from 2015 to 2017.
