Miller-Meeks won over Bohannan by nearly 7 percentage points in 2022.

“This race was always going to be competitive,” Miller-Meeks campaign spokesman Tyler Menzler said in a statement. “In 2020, Mariannette Miller-Meeks won by 6 votes and in 2022, she won by 7 points.”

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) had mixed opinions about the election.
