Gabriel Amo won the Democratic primary for the House seat of ex-Rep. David Cicilline, who retired from Congress earlier this year.
The Associated Press called the race in a crowded primary less than an hour after the polls closed at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Amo will face Republican Gerry Leonard in the general election on Nov. 7, but the Democrat is the heavy favorite to win Rhode Island's comfortably blue 1st Congressional District.
Two other lawmakers attracted much attention during the primary: former state Rep. Aaron Regunberg and Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos.
