The Caledonia-2 District race has finally ended with over a week of counting due to how tight the race was. Republican incumbent Mike Southworth was able to secure his seat over his 25-year-old democratic candidate Audrey Grant. The total vote count was 997 to 989, meaning a mere 0.4 point difference. Both candidates ran on affordability with Mike Southworth focusing on what he’s passed in the house, which aligns with many of the other republican incumbents in the NEK.
