Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small claims a re-election victory while facing criminal charges of child abuse. Small declared victory, stating that 19 of the 21 voting precincts were in, giving him a near two-to-one margin of victory over his Democratic challenger, longtime casino union leader Bob McDevitt. The election marks a historic moment in Atlantic City, as it is the first time a mayor under indictment has won a primary for re-election.
