New Jersey truck driver-turned Republican state Senate nominee Edward Durr has officially beat out Democratic state Senate president Steve Sweeney in the race for Sweeney's state Senate seat.
Durr beat Sweeney for the 3rd District seat 52 to 48 percent, according to data from The New York Times.
Sweeney had led the state Senate since 2010. When he defended his seat back in 2017, he reportedly spent nearly $20 million on what has since become one of the most expensive legislative races in the country.
Durr reportedly spent just $153 on his election campaign, with $67 of that going towards Dunkin Donuts.

Happy to see an election turn out this way. I hope this trucker does a good job filling the 3rd District seat.
