(CNN) Democrat Shontel Brown, a Cuyahoga County Council member, will win Ohio's 11th Congressional District, CNN projected Tuesday. The seat was vacated by former Rep. Marcia Fudge, who became President Joe Biden's secretary of housing and urban development earlier this year. CNN projected Brown's win over Republican candidate Laverne Gore. That district is considered safely Republican, and GOP Rep. Mike Carey is projected to win Tuesday. She campaigned on working to stem gun violence by supporting gun safety measures, including banning firearm sales to those convicted of domestic violence or a hate crime.
