Griffin, Womack advance unopposed in races

Incumbent Republicans in two U.S. House districts had no primary opposition and are advancing to the November general election, where they’ll face Democratic opponents.

Second District Rep. Tim Griffin and 3rd District Rep. Steve Womack automatically qualified Tuesday to be the GOP candidates in the Nov. 6 general election.

Griffin will face Democratic challenger Herb Rule and Womack will go against Democrat Ken Aden. Any third-party candidates and write-in candidates who qualified for the ballot will also be in the general election.
