Representative Tim Bonner is the winner of the Republican primary election for the 8th House District.
In the most recent unofficial results, Bonner defeated challenger Scott Jaillet by collecting about 85 percent of the vote in the district that spans parts of Butler and Mercer Counties.
Bonner will now face Democrat Phil Heasley in the General Election this fall. Grove City native Bonner defeated Center Township resident Heasley in a special election to replace Tedd Nesbit in March.
