Blue Springs resident Sheila Solon won the Republican nomination for the Missouri House of Representatives District 55.
Solon snagged 2,391, or 55.25 percent, of the votes during Tuesday night’s primary. Her opponent, Michael Parker, got 1,940, or 44.75 percent, of the votes, according to unofficial election results.
Contacted Tuesday night, Solon first congratulated Parker for his well-run campaign and the effort he put in.
“He was a formidable opponent,” Solon said.
Parker could not be reached for comment. In the end, Solon said voters voted for her because of her past public service in Blue Springs as a Planning Commission member and City Council member.
“I think residents appreciated that public service in the past,” she said.
Solon will face Democrat Clay Rodgers and Libertarian Jeffrey Hoorfar, both of Blue Springs, in November.
