Coffia tops Trombley; Bergman prevails to keep seat

State Rep. Betsy Coffia edged out Republican nominee Lisa Trombley by a 53% to 47% margin Tuesday, earning her a second term representing Leelanau and parts of Grand Traverse and Benzie counties.

Leelanau County’s vote percentages were nearly identical that of the 103rd overall. Coffia garnered 8,144 votes; Trombley, 6,667.

“My team and I were up late into the wee hours and I will have more clarity and more to say once I have been able to rest,” Coffia said in a Facebook post Wednesday morning.“But know this… It is and will continue to be the honor of my life that the people of the 103rd District entrusted me with your vote in this election.”
