The Democratic race wasn't as decisive, with John Cox ahead by a small margin and Freda Deskin right behind.
If you're a registered Democrat, you'll have an opportunity to choose the best candidate in the Democratic runoff on the 4th Tuesday in August.
The Democrat who wins the runoff will face Joy Hofmeister in the general election in November.
