Picard Win Special Primary Election
Eight-term General Assemblyman Roger A. Picard (District 51 – Woonsocket) won Tuesday’s special primary election.
Picard received 873 votes. Rosina L. Hunt, of Woonsocket, received 345 votes and Thomas J. Scully, of Cumberland, received 332 votes, according to unofficial results from the Cumberland town clerk, Sandra Giovanelli.
Since he’s running unopposed for the April 22 general election, it’s likely he’ll win that too. His House seat will remain vacant until the November election.
