North Carolina state Rep. Alma Adams (D) has won the primary to replace
former Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.) over a crowded field.
The Associated Press has called
the race for Adams, who had 43 percent of the vote with 80 percent of precincts
reporting against a field of six other candidates.
Most observers expected the race
to result in a runoff. But Adams, the only woman in the race, got a big boost
from EMILY's List, which helped her
with fundraising and sent in mailers on her behalf to help her win the 40
percent necessary to win the race outright.
She's all but guaranteed a seat in
Congress in the heavily Democratic, African American-majority district.
