ABC News has projected the Democratic primary for the Arkansas governor’s race for Chris Jones. Jones is a Pine Bluff native who returned to Arkansas in 2018 after earning his bachelor’s degree at Morehouse College in Atlanta and dual master’s degrees and a doctorate at MIT and working in Boston and Maryland nonprofits. He launched his campaign for governor with a well-produced introductory video that traveled quickly across social media and gained national attention. If he were to win, he would be the state’s first Black governor.
The Democratic primary in Texas’s 15th District is currently tied. In the first round of voting in March, Vallejo barely forced a runoff by finishing just a little over 300 votes above third place.
