CayceG Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'm currently engaged in a twitter fight about that very race. Bradshaw is a Memphis native and had a strong showing there. In the rest of the state she had some good areas too. I voted for her. The DSCC supported candidate is James Mackler: https://www.jamesmackler.com/priorities/ He's honestly to Tennessee what Amy McGrath is to Kentucky. He's a soft middle of the road Dem that leans in heavily to his military service. Bradshaw, on the other hand... https://www.marquitabradshaw.com/platform First up on her issues page is M4A. She supports a Green New Deal. $15 minimum wage. DACA. Overturning Citizens United. She's a single mom. Her platform is 100% of everything more left leaning voters have been clamoring for. Stack that up against Mackler (who only overlaps on the $15 minimum wage and Citizens United) and his support for the Affordable Care Act looks weak in comparison and his being a troop is just worthless. Turns out, people actually look at the issues. But also, some arguments out there are saying Bradshaw was elected because her name appears first on the ballot. I think that's a weak argument owing to the differences I outlined above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 What you need to know about the Minnesota and Georgia primaries MINNESOTA: Ilhan Omar might -- might -- have a tougher time defending her seat than the rest of the squad Quote Two members of the Squad (Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib) have already routed their primary challengers this year, and another (Rep. Ayanna Pressley) doesn’t even have an opponent. But Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District might not find it so easy, as she’s facing a stiff challenge from attorney Antone Melton-Meaux. Quote It’s hard to know how close this primary is. In early July, the Omar campaign released an internal poll from Change Research showing the incumbent leading Melton-Meaux 66 percent to 29 percent. However, the money race implies a much tighter race. With the help of Omar’s well-funded political enemies, Melton-Meaux had raised an impressive $4.2 million as of July 22 — almost as much as Omar’s $4.3 million. The pro-Israel super PAC Americans for Tomorrow’s Future has also spent $2.1 million against Omar on attack ads and direct mail. Omar’s recent release of her own negative ad against Melton-Meaux may signal the race is tightening in the final days. GEORGIA: QAnon far-right quacky conspiracy theorist waste of flesh could be the Republican nominee Quote We’re also monitoring two Republican congressional runoffs in Georgia, and undoubtedly the most combustible contest is the 14th Congressional District race between controversy-laden construction company owner Marjorie Taylor Greene and neurosurgeon Dr. John Cowan. Today’s winner will be all but certain to succeed retiring GOP Rep. Tom Graves, as President Trump won 75 percent of the northwest Georgia district’s vote in 2016. At first, it seemed as if Greene was the front-runner. After all, she won 40 percent to Cowan’s 21 percent in the initial vote June 9. However, Greene’s conspiratorial and racist views may have undermined her path to victory. For starters, she has refused to disavow QAnon, an FBI-labeled domestic terror threat that claims there’s a deep state conspiracy against Trump. And just after the June primary, Politico uncovered videos of Greene making racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic statements, which prompted many national GOP leaders and Georgia Republicans to oppose her and/or back Cowan. Koch Industries’ political action committee even asked for a refund on its $5,000 donation to her campaign. Quote For his part, Cowan has pitched himself as a pro-Trump conservative who doesn’t have Greene’s baggage. He’s also criticized Greene for accepting coronavirus relief funds for her company even though she’s self-funded more than half of her campaign. He has also tried to get to the right of Greene on immigration, running an ad accusing her company of not using the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify program to check the immigration status of workers — a contention Greene denies. Meanwhile, Greene has called Cowan a “globalist Never Trumper” who’s “too afraid to take on China.” She’s also made a play for conservative voters angered by recent protests against the police by attacking Cowan for not speaking out in support of former Atlanta police officer Garrett Rolfe, who faces 11 charges, including murder, for shooting a Black man who had fallen asleep in his car at a Wendy’s drive-thru. Greene’s campaign slogan is “Save America, stop socialism.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Connecticut Republican drops out of congressional race on primary day after arrest Quote A Republican running for Congress in Connecticut dropped out of the race Tuesday — hours before polls opened for the state’s primary — after he was arrested over a violent encounter with an ex-girlfriend. Thomas Gilmer, the GOP’s endorsed candidate, was arrested late Monday night, according to a statement from Wethersfield Police. He was charged with first-degree unlawful restraint and second-degree strangulation and released after posting a $5,000 bond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
