Huff Wins Republican Nomination for 29th Senate District

According to results posted on the California Secretary of State website, Assemblyman Bob Huff trounced former Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy for the Republican nomination in the 29 Senate District race.

Huff: 28,320 votes, 68.4%
Mountjoy, 13,137 votes, 31.6%

Joseph Lyons, the lone entrant in the Democratic primary, received 22,363 votes, 100%

Libertarian Jill Stone won her primary with 209 votes, 100%

As noted yesterday, because the 29th was gerrymandered to be a safe Republican district, Huff's win in the primary virtually assures his election to the state senate in November.
