Terry Britton won the Highland County Republican primary Tuesday, gaining the GOP’s nomination to move forward to the General Election, where he will face Democrat Tara Campbell, who ran unopposed in her party, and unaffiliated candidate Alex Butler. Results are unofficial until a later canvas.

With all precincts reporting, Britton was leading opponent Barb Cole by a margin of 4,150 votes to 2,761.

The GOP commissioner race was the only local contested race on the ballot. Republican GOP officeholders ran unopposed, and Democrats fielded no candidates for any offices outside of commissioner.
