Leader Nancy Pelosi on May 22, 2012.[18]
In the Democratic primary for the special election, Payne competed against Ronald C. Rice (son of State Senator
Ronald Rice) and Irvington Mayor Wayne Smith. He won the special election primary, receiving 71 percent of
the vote, compared to 25 percent for Rice and 5 percent for Smith.[19]
In the Democratic primary for the full term, Payne competed against Rice, Smith, State Senator Nia Gill, Cathy
Wright of Newark, and Dennis R. Flynn of Glen Ridge.[20] He won in a landslide, garnering 60 percent of the
vote. Rice received 19 percent, Gill 17 percent, and Smith, Wright and Flynn, combined for about 5 percent of
the vote.[21]

general election held on November 6, 2012, he defeated Republican candidate Brian C. Kelemen with 87% of
the vote.[23] He ran unopposed for the special election to fill the remainder of his father's term. However, the
10th is a heavily Democratic, black-majority district, and Payne had effectively assured himself of succeeding
his father with his primary victory.
