Republican Lamborn Wins 5th Term In Congress
DENVER (AP) — Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs has won election to a fifth term in Congress in Colorado's most Republican district.
The Republican defeated Democratic challenger Irv Halter in the 5th Congressional District, centered in Colorado Springs.
Lamborn faced a lively challenge from Halter, a retired Air Force major general.

Halter and even some fellow Republicans criticized Lamborn for urging generals who disagreed with President Barack Obama to resign "in a blaze of glory."
The remarks were made as the military stepped up its campaign against the Islamic State militant group. Lamborn said later that he wasn't referring to current military policy.
