Cyndi Stevenson Edges Mike Davis in Open House GOP Primary

The special Republican primary battle for former Rep. Doc Renuarts open House seat, representing the northern parts of St. Johns County, proved close on Tuesday night.

St. Johns County Commissioner Cyndi Stevenson beat St. Augustine businessman Mike Davis, who challenged Renuart in the primary back in 2012, by 300 votes on Tuesday night. With all votes in, Stevenson had 5,173 votes (42 percent) while Davis took 4,870 votes (39 percent). Jack Capra stood in distant third with 2,379 votes (19 percent).

Stevenson will face Judy Stevens, who is running with no party affiliation, and write-in candidate Mary Anne Boczek in the April 7 special election.
