Heated congressional primary in Ohio a battle between Democrats’ establishment, progressive wings
Fox News
Nina Turner, a former state senator and a top surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, and Cuyahoga County councilwoman Shontel Brown are the top two contenders in a nasty Democratic special election congressional primary in Ohio.
The brief moment of peace came two days before Tuesday’s primary election in the special election in Ohio’s 11th Congressional District, a predominantly Black and overwhelmingly Democratic district that includes large portions of Cleveland and its southern and eastern suburbs, as well as parts of the city of Akron. Turner and Brown, who are both Black, are the top two candidates in a 13-candidate field in the race to fill the seat left vacant when longtime Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge stepped down early this year after being confirmed as Housing and Urban Development secretary in President Biden's administration.More Related News
