Suffolk voters helped give two opposed incumbents for General Assembly seats a ticket back to Richmond during Tuesday’s election.

Although all 140 seats in the General Assembly were on Tuesday’s ballot statewide, only two of the eight that represent Suffolk were contested in a small number of precincts in North Suffolk.

In the First District, incumbent John Miller, a Democrat, won election to his third term. He was challenged by Republican Mark Matney.

Burbage Grant is the only Suffolk precinct in the First District, which also contains much of the Peninsula. Burbage Grant gave almost 68 percent of its vote to Miller.

Across his entire district, Miller received about 60 percent of the vote.

In the Third District, Republican Thomas Norment, an attorney, won election to his seventh term. He was challenged by Democrat Hugo Reyes.

Suffolk gave Norment a huge boost on the road to Richmond. Driver went for Norment by more than 69 percent, while Bennett’s Creek voted more than 53 percent for Norment. Ebenezer went heaviest for Norment among his Suffolk precincts, giving him 76 percent of its vote.

The Third District also covers parts of Surry and Isle of Wight counties as well as much of the Peninsula and counties farther north. With 82 percent of precincts in the Third District reporting at press time, Norment had about 69 percent of the vote.

The unopposed incumbents representing the rest of Suffolk won re-election to their seats handily.

The representatives of the 14th and 18th Senate districts, John Cosgrove (R) and Louise Lucas (D), respectively, will head back to Richmond.

In the House of Delegates, the following uncontested incumbents also will return to Richmond: Rick Morris (R-64), Chris Jones (R-76), Lionell Spruill Sr. (D-77) and Matthew James (D-80).

Commissioner of the Revenue Susan L. Draper was elected to her seat for the first time. She ran unopposed in a special election after being appointed a year ago to fill the term of Thomas Hazelwood, who retired.

Finally, Richard A. Gwaltney and Travis W. Williams were elected as Soil and Water Conservation Directors for the Peanut District. The two were the only options on the ballot, and there were two seats available.

Voter turnout was low, characteristic of an off-year election with few contested races. Of Suffolk’s 56,404 registered voters, only 6,865, or 12 percent, voted in Draper’s election, the only one held citywide where only one seat was available. The official turnout number will be slightly higher, however, as some voters may not have voted for Draper’s seat at all. Official turnout numbers are not reported by the State Board of Elections until later in the month.
