Herb Conaway Wins NJ 3rd District House Primary, AP Says

Last updated at 10:26 p.m. Tuesday.

NEW JERSEY — State Assembly Member Herb Conaway has won the Democratic primary for New Jersey's 3rd Congressional District, according to the Associated Press.

The AP called the race for Conaway at 9:22 p.m. Tuesday, when he held 47.9 percent of votes in the five-candidate Democratic field. The AP hasn't declared a winner in the Republican race as of this writing.

All results remain unofficial until certified on a later date. See the live results below.

With Rep. Andy Kim running for U.S. Senate, five Democrats and four Republicans are running for Congress in the district. The results will determine which candidate represents each major party during November's General Election.

Conaway leads a Democratic primary that also featured State Assembly Member Carol Murphy, who also serves New Jersey's 7th Legislative District. When the AP called the race, Conaway had 13,428 votes, while Murphy was in second with 7,377 votes (26.3 percent).

The 7th Legislative District in the State Legislature is comprised of towns in northwestern Burlington County.
