Looks like Jon Hecht has won Rachel Kaprielian’s old State Rep seat by a 800-vote margin or so (this was the primary, but there’s no Republican challenger).  I expected him to win, but I thought the numbers would be closer; I didn’t expect him to clear a majority, but he got 55% of the vote.  Marilyn Devaney has also successfully defended her 3rd District Governor’s Council seat against two challengers, with 54% of the vote across the district.  Congratulations to both of them, and especially to Hecht for getting such turnout in a write-in campaign.  I agree with sco that Hecht is likely to be a very good Rep.
