chivukula1 — State Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula speaks to residents at the Somerset Run Candidate’s Night.

Hometown favorite state Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula enjoyed strong support in the township in his bid for the Democratic nomination for the 12th Congressional District seat on June 3, but could not overcome the eventual winner’s lead in Mercer County, voting results show.

With a total of 7,824 votes in the Democratic primary, Chivukula placed third in the four-candidate Democratic field.
