Shayla Favor wins Franklin County prosecutor primary!
Why it matters: If elected in November, Favor pledges to reform the local criminal justice system as the first woman and first Black prosecutor in county history.
State of play: The seat is open after incumbent Democrat Gary Tyack decided to retire after one term.
