[Sherman A1]

Democrat Trish Gunby won a convincing victory Tuesday in a hotly contested Missouri House race in west St. Louis County.

Final unofficial returns showed Gunby with 3,357 votes, or 54%, and Republican Lee Ann Pitman with 2,855 votes, or 46%.

The district, including areas such as Ballwin, Manchester, Valley Park and Twin Oaks, had been inundated with mailings, canvassers, radio ads and other get-out-the-vote efforts.

Both parties focused money and other attention on the district because it was considered winnable for either side.
