Jared Kim Lasher winning as the sitting assembly member feels like the right outcome for keeping the seat in capable hands. Marcus Bell Lasher's win makes sense with his state house record over those outside names. Nicole Hardy Schlossberg had the name but lacked the record to beat a sitting state rep like Lasher. Marcus Bell Conway and Schlossberg had plenty of name recognition but voters clearly wanted someone with local roots.
