Democrat Cory Booker thanked New Jerseyans for coming out to vote Wednesday, as he won the special election to complete the final year of the late U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg’s term.

The polls closed at 8 p.m. statewide. The Associated Press declared Booker the winner over Republican Steve Lonegan shortly after 9:30 p.m.

With 99 percent of the precincts reporting, Booker had captured 55 percent of the vote to 44 percent for Lonegan. Six other candidates were also in the race.

“Thank you so much, New Jersey. I’m proud to be your senator-elect,” Booker tweeted around 9:40 p.m., along with a virtual card reading, “We did it!”
