A meager showing of state primary voters has ousted incumbents Dist. 30 Senator William Walaska and Dist. 21 State Rep. Eileen Naughton, the latter in favor of an ebullient Camille Vella Wilkinson, the current City Councilor for Dist. 3.
Assuming all the candidates who made the June 30 declaration deadline collect the signatures needed to be on the ballot for the Sept. 13 primary and Nov. 8 election, there will be 27 contested races this election season, with 15 primary contests.
