With final vote totals reported Wednesday, Rep. Amy Volk,  a Republican state representative from Scarborough, unseat incumbent Jim Boyle for the Senate District 30 seat.

Boyle, a Democrat from Gorham, was seeking re-election to a second term.

Volks received 53 percent of the vote to 47 percent for Boyle.

District 30 had become one of the key battlegrounds between Republicans and Democrats, with out-of-state groups spending more than $100,000 on ads, including direct mail and television spots.

The district includes Gorham, and parts of Scarborough and Buxton.
