Wednesday, June 25, 2008 10:56 AM Davis defeats Taft in Senate 5 seat By Matt Shaw | Times Staff Writer Snow Hill Mayor Don Davis easily defeated Kathy Taft in the Democratic runoff for N.C. Senate's District 5. Davis tallied nearly 63 percent of the vote in the district, now represented by longtime Sen. John Kerr of Goldsboro. Taft of Greenville, a State Board of Education member, carried the vote in her home county of Pitt, but Davis had the advantage in Greene and Wayne counties, which make up a larger part of the district. Turnout across the district was close to 20 percent. Davis will now face Republican Louis Pate in the Nov. 4 election. Pate, a former Mount Olive mayor, is now a member of the N.C. House. |
