Four candidates filed to run for the District 3 seat in the by-district primary election on August 30, 2016: newcomers Darcey Addo, Richard Charbonneau, Tina Descovich, and Larry Finch. Addo and Descovich advanced to the general election because no candidates received more than 50 percent of the primary vote, and Descovich won the seat.
