A third Republican won a spot on the November ballot, according to results from election canvass boards in Washington and Allegheny counties.

Monica Douglas of Elizabeth will challenge incumbent Democratic state Rep. David Levdansky in the 39th Legislative District.

Douglas received 519 votes in Allegheny County and 89 in the Washington County municipalities of Nottingham, Union, Finleyville and part of Carroll that comprise the 39th District.

With a total of 608 votes, Douglas received more than twice the number of write-ins needed. Levdansky also conducted a Republican write-in campaign but fell short, garnering 146 GOP votes in the two counties.

Douglas, 37, of Elizabeth, ran unsuccessfully against Levdansky in 2002.
