Final results for the June 8 Democratic primary show Rebecca Williams racking up 831 votes in the Second & Third wards at-large race, with incumbent Rashid Burney drawing 568 votes and former Councilman Don Davis trailing with 200.
Republican challenger and former mayoral candidate James Pivnichny was unopposed and received 131 votes.
In the First Ward race, Democratic Councilman William Reid was unopposed and received 263 votes. He faces a November challenge from Republican Sean Alfred, who received 14 votes.
The two Republicans are among 11 people who won seats out of 68 slots on the Republican Municipal Committee, which is scheduled to reorganize tonight, selecting officers for the next two years.
Republicans number only 1,012 of the city's 21,731 voters, according to the latest figures from the Union County Board of Elections. The party had a count of 1,108 in October 2008, but the number has steadily declined through the past two years.
