Blue Wave
Nationwide primary trends show Blue Wave is gathering. Oh, and Missouri voters REJECT RTW outright
|
Yesterday was Election Day in Washington, Ohio, Michigan, Kansas, and Missouri and while not every progressive candidate won major landslide victories, across the country gains were made. More women and people of color were running than ever before and their continued successes means that, while our federal system was created to take time to change, change is coming! One of the races progressive poll watchers are most excited for is Sharice Davids, who is a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and an out lesbian. After winning her primary yesterday, she will face off against Representative Kevin Yoder (R) in Kansas’s Third Congressional District in November. In Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer won a three-way primary that included two men of color.
