3 of 3 precincts reporting.\
Cassie Turner (I-Incumbent) 2,376 (72 percent)\ Lynn Duncan (R) 945 (28 percent)
In Radford's only contested race, Commissioner of Revenue Cassie Turner won a second four-year term to her $40,892-a-year office.
Opposed by accountant Lynn Duncan, whom she never ran across on the campaign trail, Turner said Tuesday night: "Everybody likes to run unopposed, but when you have opposition, that provides the voters with an opportunity to really let you know if they're happy with what you're doing."
Turner says the next four years will include continued computerization of her three-person office, which processes state income tax returns for the city and manages up to $4 million in local revenues.
About 60 percent of the city's voters turned out.
"I wish her the best," said Duncan, who works for Hercules Inc. at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant.
And while the contest was so low-key that she and Turner never squared off in person, Duncan said, "I know who she is." z
Unopposed races
Commonwealth's Attorney Randal Duncan, Sheriff Bobby Farmer and Treasurer Martin R. "Jigger" Roberts were re-elected without opposition.
