Key Primary Elections Across the U.S.

Primary elections across the United States are setting the stage for significant political battles in the upcoming general elections. In Pierce County, Washington, Democrats could lose their slim majority on the County Council if Republican challengers succeed in November. Michigan is seeing intense primary contests with Democrats aiming to maintain their narrow majority in the state House, while key races for the U.S. Senate and House are also drawing national attention. Local races, such as those for school boards in Colts Neck and Holmdel, NJ, and the prosecutor's office in Jackson County, MO, reflect the broader stakes of the 2024 elections, with candidates emphasizing community-focused policies.
