Massachusetts Senate primary shocks as King tops Dukakis
Former Bills and Colts guard Edward J. King won the Massachusetts Democratic primary over incumbent Governor Dukakis with 51 percent. Brooke, the Black senator, narrowly defeated Avi Nelson amid a disclosure in his divorce finances. In Oklahoma and Washington races, incumbents and renomination winners advanced. King backs Proposition 13 style tax cuts and death penalty, while Dukakis opposed him on tax relief. Brooke faced scrutiny over a marriage misstatement, with ethics probes continuing.
