  "textContent": "Three candidates competed for the Washington County Board of Commissioners chair in Tuesday's nonpartisan primary, with Pam Treece leading the field and Nafisa Fai also advancing to a November runoff in initial results released at 8 p.m.\n\nThe Oregon Secretary of State's office reported Treece at 37.70% (23,203 votes), Fai at 33.91% (20,874 votes), and Jenny Kamprath at 27.89% (17,166 votes). A total of 308 voters wrote in another name, 0.50% of the vote.\n\nThe chair leads the five-member Washington County Board of Commissioners, which sets the county budget and oversees county services including the Sheriff's Office, public health, and land use planning. The chair serves a four-year term.\n\nWashington County Board of Commissioners races are nonpartisan. A candidate who receives more than 50% of the vote in the May primary is elected to the seat outright. If no candidate clears that threshold, the top two finishers advance to a runoff in the November general election. With no candidate clearing 50%, Treece and Fai will advance to the November runoff if initial results hold.\n\nWashington County Elections expects the next batch of results to be released later Tuesday night. Additional ballot drops will follow as mail-in ballots postmarked by 8 p.m. Tuesday continue to arrive.\n\nThe latest Washington County results, including the schedule for additional ballot drops, are posted on the Washington County Elections Division current results page.",
