Adams' Successor Chosen By Vote In Washington
Washington State Senator Jack Cunningham, a conservative Republican, won the House seat vacated by Brock Adams as part of three elections filling vacancies caused by incumbents leaving for Carter administration posts. Alameda Superior Court Judge Lionel Wilson was elected Oakland mayor, the first Black to do so. Meanwhile Pittsburgh Democrats nominated an organization man for mayor as Oregon rejected a school tax reform measure and Philadelphia held a city primary.
