Republican incumbent Patricia Rucker has won her re-election bid for Senate District 16, defeating Democratic opponent Pete Dougherty.
Rucker expressed her gratitude on her Facebook page on Nov. 4.
“Thank you all for your hard work. It was a very tough fight and without everyone's help we could not have won. There are so many great people who gave generously of their time and energy - without you we could not have made it over the finish line. Now that the the campaign is over, please gather up any campaign signs and materials and bring them to the Jefferson County GOP Headquarters in Charles Town. Thanks again for all of your help!”
