What Went Down During The June 28 Primary Elections

ABC News reports that Esther Joy King is projected to win the Republican primary in Illinois’s 17th District. She has 68.7 percent of the vote at 34 percent reporting.

The Associated Press has just called the Democratic primary in Illinois’s 8th District for incumbent Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi. He currently leads his opponent, Junaid Ahmed, 72 percent to 28 percent. It’s unclear which Republican Krishnamoorthi will face this fall: Chris Dargis, Peter Kopsaftis, Karen Kolodziej, Chad Koppie and Phillip Wood are vying for the GOP slot in November, but this is a pretty solidly Democratic district so I would bet that the race is very much Krishnamoorthi’s to lose.

We’ve got 24 percent of the expected vote in from Utah’s 1st District, and so far the conservative revolt against GOP Rep. Blake Moore hasn’t fully materialized. He’s at 61 percent, while retired intelligence officer Andrew Badger has 26 percent and former Morgan County Councilmember Tina Cannon has 14 percent.
