Former Executive Councilor Russell Prescott will challenge U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas in November after winning the Republican primary for the 1st Congressional District.
Prescott, of Kingston, was a state senator for five terms from 2010 to 2016 and later represented Executive Council District 3 from 2017 to 2021.
He emerged ahead of a crowded field of Republican contenders Tuesday with 26 percent of the vote, beating out Hollie Noveletsky (23 percent) and Joe Kelly Lavasseur (22 percent), with 94 percent of votes counted.
A former engineer, Prescott founded a business, R.E. Prescott Company, that manufactures water treatment systems.
He will face Pappas, who was first elected in 2018, on Nov. 5.
