The 2025 AZ-07 Democratic Primary, a contest between Daughter of the late former Rep Raúl Grijalva, Pima County Pima County Supervisor Social Media influencer Deja Foxx, & former State Rep Daniel Hernandez resulted in what is at the moment a commanding 40% win for Grijalva (hija)

Good read.

The 2014 NY Gubernatorial Democratic Primary, a contest between Incumbent governor Andrew Cuomo, and Fordham Professor Zephyr Teachout saw Cuomo win with an at-the-time  surprisingly low 62% against the underfunded Teachout.

The 2025 Democratic Mayoral Primary in NY-8th CD, an exemplar of how Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani best frm. NY Governor Andrew Cuomo—Mamdani's strong win in Bed-Stuy allowed him to overcome Cuomo's lackluster Margin in East and South-east Brooklyn to carry this African American VRA

The 2025 NYC Mayoral Democratic Primary, a contest between Socialist State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani and Former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo saw Assemblyman Mamdani win in the first round by a surprising—and comfortable—7.2%.

The 2024 PR Gubernatorial election, a contest between Incumbent Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González and three time PIP Candidate Juan Dalmau was a historic loss that saw the PIP, via it's alliance with MVC, come in second for the second time since the party's founding.

The 2019-23 ACS came out last week. Thread of Top Ancestry or Racial or Hispanic subgroup maps. Unlike for the 2020 Census, American was coded as a choice (perhaps for the last time). The NYC proper map is very colorful, with Italian tops on SI, AA in BK & Chinese in Q & BK.

@cinyc9 North Baltimore Puerto Rican tract?!

The Washington DC-Baltimore megalopolis CSA is next. German tends to dominate in areas where the African American estimate doesn't - especially in Maryland. American, English and Irish also show on the map, largely in NoVA.

Congrats Francisco on the new gig! The DfPR team will always be thankful for your incredible work as @boris4democracy Data Director. Proud to have worked alongside you!

In this win, New Hampshire added to the large number of Trump-alligned candidates in crucial swing races who would in large part end up costing the GOP control of the senate in 2022

and even as Morse held closely to the state's popular Republican governor Chris Sununu (who called Bolduc a conspiracy-theory extremist), the assosiation was not enough to beat Bolduc

Bolduc won this primary by holding closely to Trump, promoting the former president's claim the 2020 election was stolen

Maggie Hassan won by an unexpected 9%—outpacing Biden's win in NH.

The 2022 GOP NH Senate Primary, a win for staunch Conservative Don Bolduc over Senate President Chuck Morse in the race to take on Maggie Hassan ended up realizing the GOP's biggest fears as despite spending to get Bolduc elected,

Due to the Strong Democratic Lean of the district, the primaries was tantamount to the general election—resulting in Alessandra Biaggi heading to the NY Senate, a place she would serve in until her retirement in 2023

However, Klein's attempt was futile, as his connection to leading the IDC was too much for him to overcome—and with voters holding that against him he lost to Allesandra Biaggi.

This came despite Klein Spending 2 Million to hold his seat against Biaggi, touting his endorsement from Governor Cuomo in an attempt to hold his seat.

Further, Biaggi was endorsed by Establishment figures such as senator Kyrsten Gillibrand, NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson and Carolyn Maloney as all recognized the anger against the IDC, and themselves beleived it was time for a change.

These attacks created an opening for Alessandra Biaggi, who in addition to the standard IDC attacks used by the progressive Working Families Party Challengers (of which Biaggi was one) used the present sexual harassment, and campaign finance violation allegations against Klein
