Kaitlin Schroeder reports:

This makes the district the latest to flip for Democrats as part of a blue wave on Election Day.

She won with 49.3% of the vote, to 47.7% of the vote for Turner. Libertarian candidate Thomas McMasters took another 2.9%.

"I never imagined this is where life would lead me, but my kids, my military service and my patients taught me how resilience often results when you are tasked with the unimaginable," Knickerbocker said in a statement. "While many thought this would be impossible, the work is just beginning."
