The State Board of Elections on Thursday (May 23) certified the results of the 3rd Congressional District primary election, which was held April 30.

A second primary for the Republican nomination will be held July 9 because no candidate received more than 30 percent of the primary votes.

A special election was held on September 10th, 2019 to fill the vacancy in North Carolina's 3rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for the remainder of the 116th United States Congress. Jones Jr., the incumbent representative, died on February 10, 2019.

Candidates Greg Murphy, who received 22.5 percent of the primary votes, and Joan Perry, who received 15.4 percent, will be on the ballot for the second primary. Perry requested the second primary in a letter to State Board Executive Director Kim Westbrook Strach.

All registered Republicans in the 3rd Congressional District are eligible to vote in the second primary. Unaffiliated voters in the district who did not vote in either the Democratic or Libertarian primary on April 30 also are eligible.

The winner of the Republican second primary will face Democrat Allen Thomas and Libertarian Tim Harris, who were certified Thursday as primary winners in their parties, in the September 10 general election. Candidate Greg Holt of the Constitution Party, which did not have a primary, will also be on the general election ballot.

Republican Dr. Greg Murphy has won the special election in North Carolina's 3rd Congressional District, where he will succeed the late Rep. Walter Jones (R), who passed away in February.

The Associated Press called the race with 44 percent of precincts reporting. Murphy had 59 percent of the vote while his opponent, Democrat Allen Thomas had 44 percent of the vote.

Murphy was expected to win the district, which leans heavily Republican. Jones had served 13 terms in the district and President Donald Trump won the district by 23 points in 2016.

Murphy finished first in a 17-way primary in April but failed to win the nomination outright. He advanced to a runoff against pediatrician Joan Perry, who had the support of outside groups dedicated to electing GOP women. The political arm of the House Freedom Caucus backed Murphy in what became a proxy war between competing D.C. interests. North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the vice chairman, campaigned for him in the district. Murphy used their backing to help convey his support for Trump.

Murphy will become a member of the House Freedom Caucus, which is an invite-only caucus of conservatives.

President Trump took to Twitter to celebrate the news:
