Republicans flipped their ninth House seat Tuesday after Rep. Harley Rouda, D-Calif., conceded to Republican challenger Michelle Steel in a closely contested race to represent the state's 48th District. Steel, who was born in South Korea before immigrating to the U.S., declared victory on Tuesday after Rouda conceded. Steel aims to lower taxes, improve the state's coronavirus response, secure the country's borders and give Americans better access to affordable health care, among other goals listed on her website. "In Congress, I will fight to lower taxes and allow Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money, especially during these uncertain times," her website states. Democrats currently hold 215 seats in the House while Republicans hold 201.
