NM congressional primaries- In the 1st district, Darren White (R) and Martin Heinrich (D) won their primaries as expected. In the second district, Ed Tinsley won the Republican primary, and Harry Teague will the Democrat's nominee. Finally, in the third district, Ben Lujan (D) will face Daniel East (R) in November (East's win against Marco Gonzales was NM's biggest upset).
NJ congressional primaries- Leonard Lance beat Kate Whitman and others to win NJ-7's GOP primary. He'll face Linda Stender in the general election.
AL congressional primaries- Dems Bobby Bright (2nd District) and Parker Griffith (5th District) easily won their primaries. Jay Love and Harri Anne Smith will face each other in the 2nd's GOP runoff on July 15th and Wayne Parker and Cheryl Baswell Guthrie will face off the same day for the 5th district's GOP nod.
Iowa- Marienette Miller-Meeks (R) will face freshman Dem Rep. Dave Loebsack in the general election. Loebsack ousted former GOP congressman Jim Leach in 2006.
