09 May Congresswoman Joyce Beatty Wins 2020 3rd District Primary
After a long night waiting on results, Rep. Joyce Beatty won her primary race, and appears primed to win her fifth term representing the heavily Democratic 3rd Congressional District.
The four-term incumbent built her pitch to voters on the federal investments she has been able to secure for the district. Tuesday night, before results came in, she struck an optimistic tone.
“I’ve done all that I could do for as many as I could do,” Beatty said. “You always run hard no matter whether you have an opponent or not, and that’s what I do. I fight for the people, I stand up for the people, I bring things back to the district.”
Beatty ultimately won handily over Harper, 68-32%.
Beatty will face Republican Mark Richardson in the general election. Richardson overwhelmingly defeated Cleophus Dulaney in the GOP primary, 86-14%.
