Former labor commissioner &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/profiles/john_brooks&quot;&gt;John C. Brooks&lt;/a&gt; has 20,445, or 32 percent. She now faces incumbent Republican &lt;a href=&quot;/profiles/cherie_berry&quot;&gt;Cherie Berry&lt;/a&gt; in November.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Turnout was a paltry 1.9 percent. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a runoff for the Democratic nomination in state Senate District 5, Don Davis beat Kathy Taft, 63 percent to 37 percent. The seat is currently held by retiring Democratic Sen. &lt;a href=&quot;http://ncleg.net/gascripts/members/viewMember.pl?sChamber=Senate&amp;amp;nUserID=35&quot;&gt;John Kerr III&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Davis, the mayor of Snow Hill, had slightly edged Taft, a member of the State Board of Education, in a six-way race in the May primary, but failed to garner a majority. He now faces four-term Rep. &lt;a href=&quot;http://ncleg.net/gascripts/members/viewMember.pl?sChamber=House&amp;amp;nUserID=461&quot;&gt;Louis Pate&lt;/a&gt;, a Wayne County Republican. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And in a runoff for the Republican nomination in state House District 67, Justin Burr defeated Rep. &lt;a href=&quot;http://ncleg.net/gascripts/members/viewMember.pl?sChamber=House&amp;amp;nUserID=577&quot;&gt;Ken Furr&lt;/a&gt;, 58 to 42 percent. Burr had slightly edged Furr in a three-way race on May 6. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Furr was &lt;a href=&quot;/blogs/house_back_in_session&quot;&gt;appointed&lt;/a&gt; to the seat in August of 2007 after former Rep. &lt;a href=&quot;http://ncleg.net/gascripts/members/viewMember.pl?sChamber=House&amp;amp;nUserID=513&quot;&gt;David Almond&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/blogs/almond_resigns&quot;&gt;resigned&lt;/a&gt;. Burr faces no opposition in November. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
