Kansas Upheld Abortion Rights And Other Key Updates From The Aug. 2 Elections
Filed under 2022 Election
Let’s check in with the Republican women running tonight. According to the Center for American Women in Politics (CAWP), just 19 percent of GOP House nominees and 14 percent of GOP Senate nominees this year are women. These numbers are down from 2020, when 23 percent of House nominees and 26 percent of Senate nominees were women. In congressional races that have been called, tonight, among non-incumbents, just one woman has won her primary, and another is leading. In Kansas’s 3rd District, former Kansas Republican Party Chair Amanda Adkins has won her primary. In November, she will face incumbent Rep. Sharice Davis, who beat Adkins in 2020. In Michigan’s 6th District, Hima Kolanagireddy is leading with just 23 percent reporting. If she wins, she will face incumbent Rep. Debbie Dingell.
