  • How one House primary could determine who oversees Capitol Police (Davis voted for the J6 committee)

    The Republican primary between Reps. Rodney Davis and Mary Miller in Illinois' 15th District is emblematic of the choice GOP primary voters face: Trump-type hardliners who deny the validity of the 2020 election versus conservatives who voted to certify President Joe Biden's victory and supported a bipartisan investigation into the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The race could also have lingering impacts on who oversees federal elections and the U.S. Capitol Police, a position that holds more weight after the Capitol riot.
  • Republican Mike Carey wins special election for Ohio House seat, holding on to Ohio's 15th Congressional District for the GOP

    Republican Mike Carey is projected to win a special election to replace former Rep. Steve Stivers (R-Ohio) in Congress, holding on to Ohio's 15th Congressional District for the GOP. The Associated Press said Carey, a coal industry lobbyist, had bested Democratic state Rep. Allison Russo on Tuesday. The race largely favored the GOP from the outset, given the district's Republican tilt. Stivers, the district's former representative, stepped down from Congress earlier this year to take a job as the president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. But Democrats had hoped to pull off an upset victory, banking on...

    A New York state lawmaker who sought to replace a retiring member of Congress refused to concede defeat Thursday following Tuesday’s Democratic primary, claiming the election was plagued by “intentional black voter suppression.” State Assemblyman Michael Blake, an African-American candidate, finished in second place in the 15th Congressional District contest’s in-person ballot count, the New York Daily News reported. The top finisher was New York City Councilman Ritchie Torres, who is also African-American.

    Brietbart ^ | 10/09/2018 | Michael Patrick Leahy
    Republican candidates are poised to hold onto five key Ohio seats in the U.S. House of Representatives just four weeks before the midterm elections. Those five seats currently held by Republicans in the 1st, 10th, 12th, 14th, and 15th Congressional Districts are among the 61 seats currently held by the GOP across the country that Breitbart News identified in July as “must-win” in order for Republicans to maintain a one-seat majority in the House of Representatives. (In addition, the GOP must flip three Democrat-held seats). In the subsequent two and a half months, changes in circumstances have now placed all...

    I enquired about getting tickets to the only debate between John Dingell and Dr. Rob Steele. This is the response I got: "Due to the huge demand for tickets the campaign has done a lottery to assign tickets. There were upwards of 1400 requests from donors, workers, and friends. Sorry for raising your hopes... There are none to be had. I had no idea of the demand." For a small auditorium that is a lot of people, the demand outstrips the supply. Something is going on, people are waking up, and want to see this. Maybe it will be history...

    John Dingell Jr. has represented Michigan’s 15th congressional district for 55 years. His father held the same seat for 22 years before that. Dingell has lived his entire life in Washington, D.C., never in the southwest suburbs of Detroit where his constituents live. For perhaps the first time in his life, Dingell is actually in a political battle. The Detroit Free Press published the results of a poll that showed him 4% down to his challenger, Dr. Rob Steele, a cardiologist from Ann Arbor, with just three weeks to go before the election.

    As a cardiologist, Dr. Rob Steele knows about surgical precision, long odds, and chances of survival. He’s brought that to bear in his campaign to “retire” U.S. Rep. John D. Dingell, D-Dearborn, the venerable Democrat and longest-serving House member, during the Nov. 2 election.

    Last week came an e-mail that said Republican challenger Rob Steele was leading Democrat incumbent John Dingell by about 4 percent with 11 percent of the voters still undecided in their 15th District congressional race. Minutes later, another e-mail said the previous one was nothing but a political hoax, pointing to the fact that the 15th District had gone 60 percent for the Democrat in the last three presidential elections. It also pointed to previous polling that said Dingell led Steele by 19 points. Ah, nothing like election season, when you receive more information than you could ever actually want...

    If your family has held onto a congressional seat for over 75 years, if you were first elected when a veteran of the Civil War was still alive, if you are the longest serving member of the House of Representatives in history, one might say your power is pretty well entrenched. But for Rep. John Dingell, 84, that death grip on power may be slipping. In a recent poll, Dingell was down four points to his Republican challenger Rob Steele, a doctor who has never run for political office before. Steele said his patients often tell him they think it’s...

    SACRAMENTO — The stakes are high and contrasts stark in Tuesday's special election to fill a vacant state Senate seat for a district that stretches from San Jose to Santa Maria, in Santa Barbara County. Democrats can inch closer to a two-thirds majority in the Senate with a victory, a prospect that has pitted powerful interests against each other in a bruising and costly battle over who controls the Capitol. The race features two candidates who represent the opposite ends of the partisan spectrum: former Assemblyman John Laird, an openly gay and liberal Democrat who is backed by labor unions...

    SACRAMENTO — If Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan indeed decides to run for Congress — or even if she opts to run for what could be an open state Senate seat — it would be hard to blame Republicans for openly rooting for the Alamo Democrat to succeed. Or even secretly funneling contributions to her through a front group. It could mean grabbing back a seat that had been theirs for the last six years — and looked lost to Democrats for the next six. Buchanan is strongly considering but has not officially decided to run for the Congressional seat that will...
