Elections
2012 special election
After his father's death, Payne declared his intention to run in two elections in 2012: the special election to fill the remainder of his father's 12th term, and the regularly scheduled election for the full two-year term beginning in January 2013. The primaries for both elections were held on June 5, and the general elections on November 6.
According to documents filed on May 24 with the Federal Election Commission, Payne both raised and spent more money than any other Democratic candidate.[19] House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi endorsed Payne on May 22.[20]
In the Democratic primary for the special election, Payne faced Ronald C. Rice (son of State Senator Ronald Rice) and Irvington Mayor Wayne Smith. He won the primary with 71% of the vote to Rice's 25% and Smith 5%.[21]
In the Democratic primary for the full term, Payne faced Rice, Smith, State Senator Nia Gill, Cathy Wright of Newark, and Dennis R. Flynn of Glen Ridge.[22] He won with 60% of the vote, to Rice's 19%, Gill's 17%. Smith, Wright and Flynn combined for about 5% of the vote.[23]
After the election, Payne said, "I've said that I'm following a legacy and I'm not backing away from that."[24]
2012
In the November 6 general election, Payne defeated Republican nominee Brian C. Kelemen with 87% of the vote.[25] He ran unopposed for the special election to fill the remainder of his father's term. The 10th is a heavily Democratic, black-majority district, and Payne had effectively assured himself election with his primary victory. He is only the fourth person to represent this district since 1929.
