U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker won re-election in Pennsylvania's newly drawn 11th Congressional District.

The Republican congressman received 59 percent of the votes, winning by a nearly 50,000-vote margin over Democrat Jess King.

Smucker earned his second term in Congress in a district that was rated as a “solid Republican” district in almost every national and local poll.

The district includes Lancaster County and southeastern York County, a swath of Trump Country that the president won by 26 points. Smucker's largest margin came in the York County section of the district, where he doubled King's vote total.

Smucker, the first-ever Amish-born congressmen, found support from the conservative population in the historically red district and is popular among Republicans who have supported President Trump throughout his first two years in the White House.

"Thank you to our team for all of the hard work that led to such a resounding win (we won by 50,000 votes) yesterday," Smucker said in a statement posted on social media. "Thank you to my wife Cindy and our three children for their love and support. And thank you to the voters for the privilege to represent our community for another two years!"

But despite the Republican-voter advantage, King ran what is being widely considered the most successful grassroots field campaign Democrats have ever seen in Lancaster County or southern York County.

In a concession statement Tuesday night, King touted that grassroots effort:

"Every pundit said we never had a chance. But we made this race competitive. We challenged the political establishment. We made over 1 million phone calls and door knocks to talk to voters and volunteers. We broke the fundraising record for a Democrat - without taking a dime of corporate PAC money. We showed the country how to build a movement rooted in our values, and in working people."

Earlier this month, King broke the record for money raised in a single cycle by a Democrat running for the Lancaster County-based 11th Congressional District seat, and has garnered a $429,000 advantage over the GOP incumbent.

King, the leader of ASSETS, an economic development organization in Lancaster and arguably the most progressive Democrat to ever run for the Lancaster County-based seat, would be the first woman to represent Lancaster in Washington, D.C., if elected to Congress.

Where the candidates stand on the major issues

In an interview with the York Daily Record, Smucker said that in all of the elections he's run in, there's never been a starker difference between the policies of two candidates.

However, both candidates seem to share the same philosophy: "If you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to get ahead."

The way to accomplish these things might be the difference between them.

A prime example is how King and Smucker both view healthcare.

Smucker voted to repeal Obamacare completely, and said the country needs to create a healthcare system focused on market-driven policies.

King said she supports a system that would create guaranteed healthcare through Medicare-for-all.

► Immigration:

King believes in creating a fair pathway to citizenship for all who call America home and ending cruel detainment and deportation policies.

Smucker introduced legislation to criminalize visa overstays and consistently supports border security funding.

► Abortion:

King believes abortion should be safe, legal and rare. She believes that if all women have access to comprehensive family planning resources and contraception, then there will be a decrease in abortions.

Smucker wants to end taxpayer-funded abortions as part of Obamacare.
