Nearly all the incumbents who ran in today's primary election to represent constituents in Jefferson County, Eureka and the rest of the Leader readership area beat their challengers. The one exception was Cecelie Williams of Dittmer, who beat incumbent Gary Bonacker of House Springs for the Republican nomination for the District 111 state representative seat. No Democrat filed in that race, so Williams will take the seat.
Current District 2 U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner of Ballwin beat challenger Peter Pfeifer of Town and Country for the Republican Party nomination. She will take on Democrat Ray Hartmann of Richmond Heights in the Nov. 5 general election.
Bob Onder of St. Charles bested six other Republicans for that party's nomination for the District 3 U.S. representative seat. He will face Democrat Bethany E. Mann of St. Peters in the general election. Blaine Luetkemeyer currently holds the seat but did not seek re-election.
The Republican nomination for the District 8 U.S. representative seat goes to incumbent Jason Smith of Cape Girardeau, who beat two challengers. Democrat Randi McCallian won that party's nomination, beating Franklin Delano Roth II, so McCallian will challenge Smith in the November election.
Incumbent Justin Sparks of Glencoe won the Republican Party nomination for the District 110 state representative seat, beating challenger Scott Ottenberg of Wildwood. Sparks will face Democrat Josh Thackston of Wildwood in the November general election
Incumbent Phil Amato of Arnold won the Republican nomination for the District 113 state representative seat, besting challenger Joe Maddock of Arnold. No Democrat filed, so Amato will win re-election to the state House.
The Republican nomination for the District 115 state representative seat went to Bill Lucas of De Soto, who beat Dominic (Dom) Lawson of De Soto. Lucas will face Democrat David George of De Soto in the general election. Cyndi Buchheit-Courtway of Festus currently holds the seat but ran unsuccessfully for state senate District 3, losing to Mike Henderson of Desloge.
David Gregory of Chesterfield won the Republican nomination for the District 15 state senate beating two others. Gregory will face Democrat Joe Pereles of Chesterfield and Libertarian Jeff Coleman of Chesterfield in the general election. Andrew Koenig of Manchester currently holds the seat but has termed out and could not run for re-election.
District 22 State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman of Arnold lost her bid for the Republican nomination for secretary of state.
In Jefferson County, incumbent Dave Marshak of Festus beat challenger Colin Rumpsa of Arnold. No Democrats filed, so Marshak wins re-election.
Incumbent Paula Wagner of Festus beat Paul Wieland of Imperial for the Republican nomination for county treasurer. No Democrats filed, so she wins the office.
Three County Council seats were up for election.
For the District 2 council seat, Billy Crow of Arnold won the Republican nomination, and since no Democrats filed, he wins the office. Gene Barbagallo of Imperial currently holds the seat after being appointed to fill an unexpired term but did not seek election in the primary.
Incumbent Charles Groeteke of Barnhart beat fellow Republican Leslie Cheek of Barnhart for the District 4 seat. No Democrats filed, so Groeteke will retain his seat.
For the District 6 council seat, Tim Brown of De Soto beat two other Republicans in the primary and will win the office because no Democrats filed. Dan Stallman of De Soto holds the seat now but did not seek to retain the seat.
Voters approved the Mapaville Fire Protection District's request for 25-cent property tax increase, which will be used to raise employee salaries.
Two constitutional amendments also were on the ballot. Amendment 1, which would have given a tax break to child care providers, failed, and Amendment 4, which raises funding for the Kansas City Police Department, passed.
