Iowa
Molly Donahue
State Senate, Iowa State Senate District 37
From Ballotpedia: "Molly Donahue (Democratic Party) is a member of the Iowa House of Representatives, representing District 68. She assumed office on January 1, 2019. Her current term ends on January 1, 2023.
Donahue (Democratic Party) is running for election to the Iowa State Senate to represent District 37. She is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on June 7, 2022."
With Iowa redistricting, there is no incumbent running in the Primary where Molly will face one other candidate. If we want a Progressive to win this seat, Molly needs to win the June 7th Primary to advance to the General Election on November 8th.
Monica Kurth
State House, Iowa State House District 98
From Ballotpedia: "Monica Hosch Kurth (Democratic Party) is a member of the Iowa House of Representatives, representing District 89. She assumed office in 2017. Her current term ends on January 1, 2023.
Kurth (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the Iowa House of Representatives to represent District 98. She is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on June 7, 2022."
It looks like Monica will win this election. She has no challenger in the Democratic Primary on June 7th. The Republican Primary for District 98 was cancelled, so it appears she will have no competition for the General Election on November 8th.
Kansas
Rui Xu
State House, Kansas State House District 25
From Ballotpedia: "Rui Xu (Democratic Party) is a member of the Kansas House of Representatives, representing District 25. He assumed office in 2019. His current term ends on January 9, 2023."
Rui is up for re-election for the District Twenty-five Kansas House of Representatives seat. There are not many Progressive candidates in this state, and Progressives in Kansas will want to support Rui in building his base of support, and insuring that he will win in the primary election on August 2nd, and in the General Election on November 8th.
Kentucky
Charles Booker
U.S. Senate, Kentucky
From Ballotpedia: " Charles Booker (Democratic Party) is running for election to the U.S. Senate to represent Kentucky. He is on the ballot in the general election on November 8, 2022. He advanced from the Democratic primary on May 17, 2022."
Booker (Democratic Party) was a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives, representing District 43. He assumed office on January 1, 2019. He left office on December 31, 2020."
Charles WON the Democratic Primary in Kentucky, and he will be running against Rand Paul in the November election. Winning in the General Election on November 8th will be an uphill battle for Charles. Progressives should be supporting him NOW through the General Election and, if in Kentucky, should plan to get out the vote and to vote for him. It is possible Charles could win this election, since progressive Andy Beshear was sucessful in winning the statewide Governor's office, but this is definitely not certain as the rating service rate this race as Solid Republican and Safe Republican.
Patti Minter
State House, Kentucky State House District 20
From Ballotpedia: "Patti Minter (Democratic Party) is a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives, representing District 20. She assumed office on January 1, 2019. Her current term ends on January 1, 2023.
Minter (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the Kentucky House of Representatives to represent District 20. The Democratic primary for this office on May 17, 2022, was canceled."
Patti has the advantage of being an incumbent in the newly redrawn 20th District. The Republican gerrymander of the district adding more urban voters will likely make a win more difficult. Fortunately, without any Democratic competition for the seat, she can focus on the November General election.
Josie Raymond
State House, Kentucky State House District 41
From Ballotpedia: " Josie Raymond (Democratic Party) is a member of the Kentucky House of Representatives, representing District 31. She assumed office on January 1, 2019. Her current term ends on January 1, 2023.
Raymond (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the Kentucky House of Representatives to represent District 41. She is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on May 17, 2022.
Josie has 2 other Dems on the ballot in the May 17th primary so it is important that Progressives get out and vote for her. The 41st District is gerrymandered by the state Republicans, and it is uncertain if she can win in the General; progressive support might make the difference.
Robert LeVertis Bell
State House, Kentucky State House District 43
From Ballotpedia: "Robert LeVertis Bell (Democratic Party) is running for election to the Kentucky House of Representatives to represent District 43. He is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on May 17, 2022."
He is running against an incumbent Democrat who was first elected in 2020.
Tyler Lamon
City Council, Louisville, Kentucky
From Ballotpedia: "Tyler Lamon (Democratic Party) is running for election to the Louisville City Council to represent District 15 in Kentucky. Lamon is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on May 17, 2022."
There are 4 other Democrats running against Lamon for a vacant seat on the Louisville City Council, District 15. If you live in that district, please vote for him.
Maine
Troy Jackson
State Senate, Maine State Senate District 1
From Ballotpedia: "Troy Dale Jackson (Democratic Party) is a member of the Maine State Senate, representing District 1. He assumed office in 2016. His current term ends on December 7, 2022.
Jackson (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the Maine State Senate to represent District 1. He is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on June 14, 2022."
Troy faces no challenger in the June 14th Primary, although he will face a Republican challenger in the General Election in 2022. Progressives will want so support him in the General Election.
Grayson Lookner
State House, Maine State House District 113
From Ballotpedia: "Grayson Lookner (Democratic Party) is a member of the Maine House of Representatives, representing District 37. He assumed office on December 2, 2020. His current term ends on December 7, 2022.
Lookner (Democratic Party) is running for re-election to the Maine House of Representatives to represent District 113. He is on the ballot in the Democratic primary on June 14, 2022."
With Redistricting, Grayson is running in a different numbered District than in prior years. He faces no challengers in the Democratic Primary on June 14th, but will face a Republican challenger in the General Election November 8th. The District has leaned blue in the past, but this is not certain with the Redistricting. Progressives will want to help Grayson build his base and get out the vote in the General Election.
