AP projects Duffy win for congress

Congressman Sean Duffy may not have been able to convince traditionally Democratic-voting Douglas County that he was the best choice for a return trip to Washington D.C., but he was leading district-wide with nearly half the vote returned.

Duffy, who launched his congressional career more than two years ago in his hometown of Hayward was headed for a win over Democratic challenger Pat Kreitlow, a former reporter and anchor.

With 56 percent of the precincts reporting, Duffy carried a solid 56 percent of the vote in district wide.

In Douglas County, voters threw their support behind Kreitlow with 24 of 26 precincts reporting.
