PORT ORCHARD — Primary elections on Aug. 4 yielded the lowest voter turnout since at least 1998, as only 22 percent of voters completed their ballots. (The county auditor only provides election records online to 1998.)

In the Bremerton City Council District 6 race, Richard Huddy (56.2 percent) and incumbent Roy Runyon (27.2 percent) advanced to the general election on Nov. 3. Kim Faulkner, Runyon’s wife, received 16.4 percent of votes.

Huddy said he feels “validated” by the results, but there’s still work to be done.

“Basically, I need to do another round of doorbell-ing,” Huddy said. “I think I hit about 60 percent of the district. I plan to hit 100 percent.”

He’ll continue harping neighborhoods, teamwork and economic development.

“I really want to give our neighborhood a clear voice in the city,” Huddy said. “I think that’s very important.”

Runyon was pressed for time when contacted by the Patriot and declined to comment on the future of the campaign, but did say the primary results are indicative of Huddy’s effort.

“I think the numbers reflect the effort that individuals have put into it,” Runyon said.

In the Bremerton School District Director Position 3 race, Jonee Dubos (53.8 percent) and Tony Stephens (31.3 percent) also advanced to the general election. Director Position 3 was vacated in May when Ken Watkins resigned. Dubos was selected as interim director in June.

About 200 ballots still need to be counted, according to the county auditor.
