As more votes are tabulated, updates are available for the August 4th primary campaigns that were too close to call.
Michigan’s 6th District Democratic primary was a seesaw affair between state Rep. Jon Hoadley (D-Kalamazoo), who spent over $760,000, and teacher Jen Richardson, who expended just over $66,000. In the end, Mr. Hoadley prevailed 52-48%, and now advances into the general election to face veteran Rep. Fred Upton (R-St. Joseph). In the state’s open 10th District Republican contest, financial executive Lisa McClain, who self-funded $1.4 million of the $1.6 million she spent, defeated state Rep. Shane Hernandez (D-Port Huron), 42-36%, to secure the GOP nomination. In Michigan’s CD 10, doing so is tantamount to winning the seat in the Fall. The Washington jungle primary results in that state’s open 10th District are still days away from being final because they allow ballots to come in after Election Day, but we do see an update. With an estimated 51% of the vote tallied, former Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland (D) is projected as clinching one of the general election slots with just 21.5% of the vote. The second position is up for grabs between state Rep. Beth Doglio (D-Olympia) at 14.5% and former state Rep. Kristine Reeves (D) who records 13.0% preference. The top finishing Republican is Rian Ingrim in fourth position with 10.8 percent. Under Washington’s jungle primary law, the top two finishers advance into the general election regardless of vote percentage earned. In all, 19 Democrats, Republicans and Independents were on the ballot. Incumbent 10th District Rep. Denny Heck (D-Olympia) is leaving the House to run for Lt. Governor and finished first with 27.2% of the vote. It appears he and fellow Democrat Marko Liias (16.9%), the state Senate Majority Floor Leader, will advance into the general election.
