In more election news, progressive candidate Pramila Jayapal has won a congressional primary in Washington state with 38 percent of the vote. Jayapal was one of the first candidates to receive an endorsement from Bernie Sanders. Jayapal has championed initiatives that include expanding Social Security benefits, debt-free college and a $15 minimum wage. Her win follows other congressional primary victories for progressives, including Zephyr Teachout in New York and Jamie Raskin in Maryland. Meanwhile, in a congressional primary in Kansas on Tuesday, tea party Congressmember Tim Huelskamp lost in a landslide to John Marshall, a political novice. Congressmember Huelskamp was a part of the right-wing Freedom Caucus, which battled repeatedly with former House Speaker John Boehner. A widely circulated photo showed Boehner toasting Huelskamp’s defeat.
