BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson on Tuesday retained his seat in Congress.

Simpson will serve a 12th term representing the 2nd Congressional District in eastern Idaho after defeating Democrat Aaron Swisher on Tuesday.

Republicans have long dominated red-state Idaho, and Simpson turned aside his Democratic challenger. He also easily defeated challengers in the Republican primary in May.
