Russ, Swift, and Raymer victorious in closely-watched races

The hard-fought Republican primary in BC has come to an end and Wayne Russ, Kenny Swift and Rebecca Raymer were all victorious in what were arguably the most closely-watched races this political season. Russ edged out Dana Phelps, his closest competitor, 753 to 649. Ralph Spohn finished a distant third (587 votes) with Jody Henderson, Chris Reneer and Timmy Givens rounding out the field.

Swift tallied 1,063 votes to defeat Bob Annis and Jared Evans, who garnered 837 and 702 votes, respectively. Shanda Phelps Lovell Rebecca Jacobs trailed the top three vote getters, finishing in fourth and fifth place, respectively. 

In an open State Representative race, Butler County’s Rebecca Raymer received 2,264 votes in the county to 605 votes for Timothy Dukes. Although Raymer lost to Dukes in Muhlenberg County, her Butler County margin was more than enough for her to secure the win. Raymer will face a Democratic opponent in the fall.

Other winners in Tuesday’s primary election were Tim Flener in the JE race; Stevie Givens, Kevin Phelps and David Whittinghill (by only 6 votes in a rematch with Osei Thomas) in magistrate races. Winners in the various constable races were Steven Wayne Johnson, Tony Givens, and Dustin Coots.
