MINNEAPOLIS — U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar spent months largely ignoring her Democratic challenger. "I have not given it a thought," Omar, D-Minn., said in June when asked about the state of the primary race, going on to declare, "We're going to do great, as always." But in Tuesday's primary, amid lower turnout and some voter frustration over her policies and style, the 5th Congressional District ...

Aug. 10—Few voters turned out. For the most part up and down Minnesota's ballots, incumbents and qualified challengers prevailed and advanced.

Wilting slightly in the August sun, Sen. Alex Padilla, Rep. Tony Cárdenas, Assemblymember Luz Rivas and Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez gathered Wednesday in front of their former high school to endorse Rep.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit to remove Labor Party candidates from the November 2022 ballot. The Labor Party nominated Gary Votour for governor and his running mate Harold Geddings for lieutenant governor, and Lucus Faulk in the 1st Congressional District race during a nominating convention last month despite a dispute among party leaders whether to ...
On May 22, in a small ballroom at a Marriott hotel in downtown Grand Rapids, Tudor Dixon attended one of the most important events of her primary campaign. She made freewheeling speech in front of a small audience and a film crew. That footage became the basis for political ads that the event’s super PAC host, Michigan Families United, would spend more than $2.5 million to air before the ...
Aug. 10—The stage for the Nov. 8 general election is now set following Tuesday night's primaries that saw Democrats support their endorsed candidates and Republicans lean further to the right than some political observers expected. The next three months will be filled with press conferences, political attacks, TV ads and two parties that appear to be on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms ...
A candidate in a disputed Lexington council race has appealed a Fayette Circuit Court judge’s ruling that said the top two vote getters in the May primary would move on to the general election despite a ballot mix-up. Barry Saturday, who came in third in the Council District 4 race, wrote in an appeal filed this week that a special election should be called to determine who should run in the ...
