SCARBOROUGH — Political newcomer James Boyle trounced incumbent Rep. Timothy Driscoll, D-Westbrook, for the Democratic Party nomination for Maine Senate District 6. 

The final unofficial result after Tuesday’s primary election had Boyle winning 1,106 to 700. Senate District 6 includes Gorham and parts of Scarborough and Westbrook.
