BERLIN — The stage is set for the general election on Nov. 3, now that the Sept. 8 primary has determined the political contenders from the Republican and Democratic parties in respective matches.

In one of the primary’s very few contested races in Coos County, it will be Raymond “Ray” Gorman whose name is on the ballot in the general election for the District 3 Coos County Commission race. Cote, the former and now retired commander of state police Troop F, was defeated by incumbent Gorman.
