Gloor takes 20 precincts in Tuesday's vote

Mike Gloor took 20 out of 22 precincts in the District 35 legislative race on Tuesday.

Precinct-by-precinct results were released on Friday by the Hall County election commissioner's office.

Gloor, who is St. Francis Medical Center president and chief executive officer, and Grand Island attorney Gregg Neuhaus are vying for the seat currently held by state Sen. Ray Aguilar. Aguilar is prevented from seeking another term due to term limits.

Because there are only two candidates in the race, both automatically advanced to the Nov. 4 general election. However, both names were printed on the primary ballot because state law requires that state legislative candidate names be printed on primary ballots even when an elimination race isn't occurring.

The District 35 primary served as a kind of litmus test for the two advancing candidates to determine where their support was and what areas of the district may need more campaign attention prior to the general election.
