Note About (the above) Election Results
Due to the lack of a Medicare for All staff person to do the work, the following information is not possible for me to provide:
- Green Party candidates.
- Percentage of votes cast for the primary races, which are more of a challenge to obtain than the general election results.
*** = This loss was not counted as part of the win/loss totals.
***** = The challenger is a strong single-payer supporter.
