Republican U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie has won a seventh term in Kentucky's 2nd Congressional District.
The former state senator from Bowling Green defeated Democrat Hank Linderman on Tuesday.
Guthrie was first elected in 2008, when Republican U.S. Rep. Ron Lewis chose to retire minutes before the deadline to file for re-election. Guthrie has easily won re-election since then in the southwest Kentucky district.
