The widower of Montgomery County (web|news) Councilwoman Marilyn Praisner won the Democratic nomination to finish her term.
Don Praisner received 44 percent of the vote in Tuesday's four-person primary contest, to beat school board President Nancy Navarro.
Mark Fennel, the Republican nominee for the eastern county seat in 2006, received 48 percent of the vote for his party's nomination in a four-way race.
Marilyn Praisner died in February following heart valve replacement surgery. She was 66.
County elections officials say absentee and provisional ballots will be counted in the next two weeks, but they are not expected to affect the outcome.
