Analysis Of The Nevada Third Congressional District Election

On October 24th, Republican Senator Jeff Flake surprised the nation by announcing he would not seek re-election in 2018. It was not his announcement however that took people by surprise – it was his speech denouncing the president of the United States. Several times throughout his speech, Flake addressed trump directly, stating his behavior had a “chilling effect on a healthy democracy” (Nilsen). Flake continued,

Texas Senate District 25 is currently occupied by incumbent Donna Campbell. This district is considered one of most heavily gerrymandered districts in Texas, stretching from north San Antonio to South Austin. Campbell has held office since 2012 after defeating the incumbent in a runoff primary race. Though Campbell won the general election in 2012 by 31.2% points and 2014 by 33.4%, there is an expected GOP backlash that could bring her large wins to something reachable by Edward Kling. Since this is a nonpresidential election Steven Kling would need around 120,000 votes, depending on turnout, to reach 51% and take the district.

Have you ever felt like an outsider? Did you ever feel like you didn’t fit in and you weren’t accepted? Well, I don’t think it’s much of a problem for the outsiders in this upcoming presidential election. The presidential candidates, Donald J. Trump and Bernie Sanders, are known as the “outsiders” of the election but, are gaining so much support and acceptance. Sanders is a highly Liberal candidate who wishes for many free social systems for the United states while Trump is a conservative business man who wishes to “Make America Great Again” (“About Donald…”). The people that are voting for Trump are not going to back down any time soon or change their minds but, when it comes down to a general election, the majority of the United States population seems to side with Bernie Sanders.

The certification of the petitions had been delayed when Secretary of State Jon Husted broke a 2-2 tie, joining the board’s two Republicans, concluding Spoonamore could not run as an independent because minutes after filing his petitions, he requested and cast a Democratic Party ballot in the March primary election.

The midterm elections in Texas were something very big this year. This year was the year that the current governor, Rick Perry, would not seek a fourth term. Greg Abbott, real name, Gregory Wayne Abbott, won the midterm election for governor and will take office in January 20, 2015.

Incumbent Representative Eliot L. Engel balances the demographic needs of New York’s 16th Congressional District as well as the needs of his Democratic Party. He has served in the 16th Congressional district since January 3rd, 2013 and is next up for reelection in 2018. He was previously the representative for New York’s 19th Congressional District as a Democrat from 1989 to 1992, and was the representative for New York’s 17th Congressional District as a Democrat from 1993 to 2012. Engel is a fair reflection of the district, as he is a white, well-educated, American man. Nevertheless, the 16th Congressional District is relatively diverse, and has a slightly larger female to male ratio.

Minnesota 's 2nd Congressional District race will be a battleground in this year’s election. Republican incumbent John Kline chose not to run for re-election, leaving the seat open for a new representative. Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District covers the south Twin Cities metro area and includes Dakota, Goodhue, Scott, and Wabasha counties and portions of Rice and Washington counties. Democrat Angie Craig, Republican Jason Lewis, and the Independent party runner Paula Overby will compete against each other, in the fall general election scheduled for November 8, 2016. Below, each candidate will be discussed in further detail including their party affiliation, geographic area served, whether they are and incumbent or held other offices, a brief background on the issue, candidates stand on the issue, along with a personal reflection/opinion on the issue related to the information received.

Republican Party- They want to keep the Senate majority in order to preserve a conservative court. They also want to keep a popular Marco Rubio politically relevant because he reflects positively on the party.

With all due respect senator, haven't you learned anything from the last election? One, Sanders should have been the nominee. Second, the party has deserted those that were left behind, it didn't seem like an all inclusive political party. Finally, we lost the presidential race, the Senate, in which we figured that we could even gain a few more seats to hold onto the majority comfortably, and finally even gain a few more seats in the House. The old neoliberal ways don't work anymore.

Sean Shamany, a Republican from Hazleton, isn’t buying it: He says that if frontrunner Donald Trump is the party’s standard-bearer it would lift, not sink, Toomey.

Patrick Murphy, Democrat, is a congressman challenging Marco Rubio’s Florida Senate seat. Marco Rubio is advantaged, both by incumbency and his presidential campaign. As an incumbent, Rubio should have an advantage over Murphy for numerous reasons. John Sides et al. succinctly explains how incumbents have more campaign and political experience,
