Slideshow: Who Won the Biggest Races?

David Cicilline

The incumbent Congressman picked up a 32-point victory over challenger Anthony Gemma (Chris Young had 8 percent of the vote).

Cicilline now squares off with Republican candidate Brendan Doherty in November.

Mike Riley

Talk about a convincing victory.

The Republican nominee in the 2nd Congressional District won his four-way primary with an impressive 66 percent of the vote.

Riley will now face incumbent Democrat Jim Langevin in November.

Gayle Goldin

The endorsed candidate (who also had the support of Mayor Angel Taveras) in Senate D-3 defeated Maryellen Butke by 14 points.

Goldin has no general election opponent.

Paul Jabour

It was another convincing victory for Senate Judiciary vice chairman Paul Jabour (District 5).

Jabour defeated Maura Kelly by 16 points.

Michael Pinga

Michael Pinga, who shocked the state in 2008 with his victory over former Senate Finance chairman Stephen Alves, was the lone incumbent Senator to lose his seat Tuesday night.

Pinga was knocked off by Adam Satchell, a marriage equality and union-backed candidate.

Dan DaPonte

In arguably most-talked about Senate primary (District 14), Democratic Daniel DaPonte – a key player in last year’s pension reform battle— overcame a challenge from union-backed State Rep. Roberto DaSilva, who voted against pension reform last fall.

Elizabeth Crowley

Some thought the District 16 race might be close, but Elizabeth Crowley cruised with 68 percent of the vote against former Central Falls police chief Joe Moran III.

Frank Lombardi

The Cranston school committee member had no problems winning his primary Tuesday and now faces a credible challenge from Republican Sean Gately in November.

Michael McCaffrey

McCaffrey’s victory is a major blow for marriage equality supporters, who have targeted the Senate in hopes the legislature will take on marriage quality in 2013. House Speaker Gordon Fox has already indicated his chamber vote on the issue early in the session.

John Lombardi

The former Mayor and Council President defeated incumbent Mike Tarro and progressive Libby Kimzey, who had the support of Mayor Taveras.

Joe Almeida

Joe Almeida will be back on Smith Hil after defeating embattled Rep. Leo Medina.

Almeida has no challenger in November.

Chris Wilkens

Chris Wilkens knocked off Republican opponent Stephen Tetzner after Tetzner spent over $40,000 before the primary.

Wilkens now faces incumbent Democrat Teresa Tanzi.

Mia Ackerman

With 100 percent reporting, Ackerman had 1,064 votes while Menard had 897 votes.

The Board of Elections originally declared Menard the winner, but an edit was made.

Menard had fought off challenges from candidates put up by House leadership in the past, but was unable to sneak past the well-financed Ackerman, who benefited from redistricting.
