Primaries

​Voters in Arizona, Florida, and Oklahoma chose nominees last night in the final multi-state primary and run-off.
 
Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum scored an upset win in the open Florida Governor’s Democratic primary while Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Palm Coast; Daytona Beach) romped on the Republican side.  The Arizona Senate contest produced a solid win for Rep. Martha McSally (R-Tucson), who will now oppose Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Phoenix) in the open general election.  Arizona State University professor David Garcia won the right to challenge Gov. Doug Ducey (R).  Mortgage banker Kevin Stitt easily turned back Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett in the Sooner State gubernatorial run-off and now pairs with former state Attorney General Drew Edmondson (D) in the general election.
 
Multiple congressional races up and down the ballot in all three states were determined, advancing both parties into the general election in all instances.
