For the United States Senate race, incumbent Republican Richard Burr advanced to November’s General Election where he will face a yet to be determined opponent.

Burr won the Republican ticket with a landslide 80 percent of the votes cast statewide. Candidate Brad Jones came in second with 10 percent of the votes, Eddie Burks with nearly six percent and Larry Linney with almost four percent of the votes.

For the Democratic Party, Elaine Marshall topped the field with 36 percent of the votes, but fell short in gaining the required 40 percent. Marshall was followed by Cal Cunningham with 27 percent of votes, Ken Lewis with 17 percent, Marcus Williams with eight percent, Susan Harris with nearly seven percent and Ann Worthy with almost four percent of the votes.

Marshall and Cunningham will now face each other in a Primary run-off set for June 22.
