Former Florida governor and current U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist has won reelection to his seat representing most of Pinellas County, the Associated Press is projecting.

Crist, 64, has been a congressman since election to the state’s 13th congressional district in 2017. Before that, he was Florida’s governor from 2007 to 2011 as well as a state senator, education commissioner and state attorney general.

He began his political career as a Republican, but he joined the Democratic Party in 2012.

Throughout his multifaceted career, Crist has become one of the state’s most-known politicians. He touts much of his political success to working “across the aisle,” including the bipartisan success of the Veterans Treatment Court bill, which President Donald Trump recently signed. Crist first sponsored that bill in 2017.
