The contest between two election deniers, which has turned ugly and personal, was potentially headed for a recount that could drag on for weeks.
With more than 95 percent of the votes counted, John J. McGuire, a little-known state senator and former Navy SEAL who attended the Stop the Steal rally outside the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, had a lead over Mr. Good of a little more than 300 votes.
Mr. McGuire, who has pitched himself to voters as the true Trump loyalist and criticized Mr. Good for his vote to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, declared victory on Tuesday night before the final votes were counted.
