Democrats won an exurban St. Louis seat in the Missouri state House of Representatives on Tuesday, racking up another victory in a district carried easily by President Trump in the 2016 election.

Voters in Jefferson County appeared to choose Mike Revis, a 27-year old Democrat, to fill a seat left vacant when the incumbent quit to run for county executive. With all ten precincts within the district reporting, Revis led Republican David Linton by 108 votes, or about three percentage points.

If Revis's lead holds, it would mark a significant swing from the 2016 elections, when President Trump won the district by a 61 percent to 33 percent margin.

Four years before that, Mitt Romney beat President Obama in the district, south and west of St. Louis, by a 55 to 43 percent margin.

Congratulations on the victory to Mike Revis, the newest Missouri House Democrat! #ShowMeDems #moleg pic.twitter.com/625SCMyoHc
