Sen. Gwendolyn Britt (D) had little trouble fending off a challenge from education activist George Seymore. Britt, seeking a second term, captured 83 percent of the vote and is unopposed in the fall.
Longtime Sens. Ulysses Currie, Nathaniel Exum, Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. and Paul G. Pinsky had no opposition in the Democratic primary. Miller, the president of the state Senate, faces a GOP challenger in November.
Del. James Hubbard and newcomer Gerron Levi won the race to represent District 23A, while Del. Marvin Holmes, who was unopposed, won in District 23B.
Dels. James E. Proctor Jr. and Joseph F. Vallario Jr. will return to the General Assembly in January, but their colleague, Brian Moe, will not. Moe, who represented District 21, came in fourth in the race for three nominations. He was defeated by Ben Barnes, Joseline Pena-Melnyk and Del. Barbara A. Frush. A Republican, Neil Balwart Sood, is running for one of the seats in November.
Aisha N. Braveboy, a member of Johnson's administration, won the seat vacated by Del. Anthony G. Brown in District 25. Brown is running for lieutenant governor. Braveboy will join Dels. Melony G. Griffith and Dereck Davis, who both won.
Jolene Ivey defeated Del. Rosetta C. Parker in a spirited race in District 47. Del. Victor R. Ramirez was the top vote-getter in the district, followed by Ivey and Del. Doyle L. Niemann.
There will be two new faces representing District 26. Del. Darryl A. Kelly lost his seat, and Obie Patterson had to relinquish his when he decided to run for the state Senate. Del. Veronica L. Turner was renominated. Kris Valderrama and Jay Walker also were selected by the Democrats for the House of Delegates. A Republican, John Rowe, is running for one of the three seats in November.
All the incumbents in District 22 and 24 won.
Voters also narrowed the list of 48 candidates for school board.
Education activist Donna Hathaway Beck leads the pack. Lawlah, who initially filed to run for the school board but dropped out of the race, came in third in a crowded field of 17 at-large candidates.
