GOP's LoBiondo Tops Hughes For 11th US House Term

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo has defeated the son of his predecessor in Congress to win an 11th term representing a southern New Jersey district.

LoBiondo defeated Bill Hughes Jr. on Tuesday to keep his seat in the 2nd District.

Hughes' father represented the district from 1975 until 1995.

A poll last month showed Hughes within 6 percentage points of LoBiondo. But the incumbent said he had no plans to change his campaign strategy.
