One of the region's toughest competitions in yesterday's primary elections was for which Republican candidate would represent their party in the race for U.S. Congressional District 19. Tom Sell came out as an early leader, but much of the evening was an exchange for who would come in second, between Matt Smith and Abraham Enriquez. In the end it's Sell and Enriquez who will compete in the runoff election on May 26.
