PORTSMOUTH/BRISTOL — Linda L. Ujifusa will be the Democrat on the ballot in November for the District 11 R.I. Senate race.

Ujifusa, an attorney and the Town Council’s vice president, was comfortably ahead of her primary opponent, attorney Matthew A. Chappell, 1,544 (56.4 percent) to 1,192 (43.6) votes, with only the tiny precinct on Prudence Island still to report.

Among Portsmouth voters, Ujifusa was ahead by 1,152 votes (55.5 percent) to Chappell’s 924 (44.5 percent). In Bristol, part of which is in District 11, she garnered 392 votes (59.4 percent) to Chappell’s 268 (40.6 percent).

Ujifusa will be joined on the November ballot by Republican Kenneth J. Mendonca, and Andrew V. Kelly and Mario J. Teixeira, both of whom are running as independents.

“I’m really happy, but it’s not over yet. This is an election on (Nov. 8), so I still have to win,” Ujifusa said. “I want to thank my supporters, my family, and my friends — old and new. This night would not have happened without your commitment and hard work. I am grateful to you all, and especially to my husband, J. Mark Ryan, who has always been my inspiration and most tireless supporter.”

“I’m proud of the campaign we ran,” Chappell said Wednesday morning. “We did all that we could, and at the end of the day it was a great experience and I met a lot of great people. I just talked to Linda on the phone and wished her nothing but the best. I thanked her for making my first dip in the pool a memorable one. Hopefully we’ll continue to build on that.”

Chappell said “time will tell” whether he decides to run for office again. “At the end of the day, it’s about me staying involved in everything that’s going on in the community,” he said.
