Legislative Runoffs
Justin Burr has defeated Rep. Ken Furr in the Republican primary runoff for the 67th House District covering Stanly, Union and Montgomery counties. Furr was appointed last August to succeed Rep. David Almond, who resigned. Burr, who won with 58 percent of the vote Tuesday, faces no opposition in November. Meanwhile, Snow Hill Mayor Don Davis triumphed Tuesday in his race against State Board of Education member Kathy Taft in the Democratic contest for the 5th Senate District covering Greene, Pitt and Lenoir counties. Davis, who took 63 percent of the vote Tuesday, will face outgoing Rep. Louis Pate, R-Wayne, in November to succeed retiring Sen. John Kerr, D-Wayne. (THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, 6/24/08).
