Gabrielle Giffords's former aide Ron Barber will succeed her in Congress after a vote that denied Republicans an upset ahead of November ballots.
Results from all precincts showed Barber, like Giffords a Democrat, defeating Republican Jesse Kelly by 52-45 percent in Tuesday's vote, triggered by Giffords's decision to step down after last year's deadly shooting rampage.
Top congressional Democrat Nancy Pelosi hailed the result as a "well-deserved victory."
Republicans had sought to make the race a referendum on President Barack Obama's handling of the economy ahead of November's White House and congressional elections.
