Murphy maintains lead in Corporation Commission race

Dana Murphy continues to lead Rob Johnson in the Republican primary being held today for one of November’s Corporation Commission races.

With about two-thirds of 2,234 precincts reporting, Murphy had 53,188 votes, while Johnson had 51,152.

The winner of the race will face Commissioner Jim Roth in a special election for his seat. The winner of the November race will serve out the remainder of former Commissioner Denise Bode’s term — a period of two years.
