A former Douglas administration spokesman will face a former state senator in this fall’s race to fill the office of secretary of state. Jason Gibbs, 33, of Duxbury edged out Chris Roy, 45, of Williston in the Republican secretary of state primary.

Jim Condos, 59, of Montpelier was the victor over Charles Merriman, 51, of Middlesex in the Democratic contest.

In both races, voters went with the candidates who entered the race comparatively late. Roy and Merriman launched their candidacies more than a year ago, while Gibbs and Condos didn’t jumped into the ring until spring.

“I’m very proud of the positive, issue-based race we were in,” Gibbs said. “I’m looking to bring that same energy and enthusiasm to the general election.”
