After winning a three person primary race last night and defeating a long time incumbent, Attica Scott will be the first African American woman to serve in Kentucky's State Legislature in 20 years.
Last night, Scott won the Democratic primary for
Kentucky's 41st House District. She defeated Tom Riner who had served
in the Kentucky House since 1992, and Phil Baker. Scott won 54 percent of the vote to Riner's 31 percent.
Scott has no Republican challenger to face on election day November 8.
Attica Scott announced her victory via Twitter,
writing, "Representative Riner just called to concede. Thank you to
every single one of you who believed that we could do it. Great job,
folks!"
