Latta winning GOP primary

BOWLING GREEN — Less than three short months after winning the 5th Congressional District seat, U.S. Rep. Bob Latta looked to be winning a chance at a full term Tuesday.Latta, R-Bowling Green, won the Republican primary with 73 percent of the vote over challengers Scott Radcliffe and Michael Reynolds, with 33 percent of the districts’ precincts reporting at press time.“With the numbers where they are now, we feel good,” Latta said. “We’re very, very happy with how things are.”Latta, 51, won a bruising Republican primary in November and then a special election in December to fill the 5th Congressional District seat after U.S. Rep. Paul Gillmor died from a fall Sept. 5.Radcliffe and Reynolds had not run in the special election as Radcliffe was serving in Iraq and Reynolds was removed from the ballot because of petition problems.Latta will face Democrat George Mays, who ran and lost in the special election last year and was unopposed in the Democratic primary Tuesday.
