I feel like counting down the top 10 elections I'm watching tonight. let's go with a special #overlookedelectionstakes.
10. The moderate/conservative war in the Kansas GOP, via a dozen legislative primaries.
9. Ann Arbor prosecutor: Lots of "reform" talk but different takes on what level of commitments those need.
8. Rep. Lacy Clay vs. Cori Bush in Missouri, latest chapter of left challenges
7. Maricopa prosecutor: a really interesting left candidate (but just primary; GOP incumbent awaits)
6. Joe Arpaio: Only so low because it feels like Maricopa has shifted enough he'd be an underdog in Nov. anyway.
5. Rashida Tlaib vs. Brenda Jones in Michigan.
4. St. Louis: Few prosecutors have drawn as much fire from the right as Kim Gardner.
3. Detroit: Clearest example of "longtime prosecutor with carceral record vs. left challenger" this week.
2. Kansas Senate, because Kris Kobach. Enough said.
1. Medicaid, Medicaid, Medicaid in Missouri.
[Honorable mentions to: prosecutors in Ann Arbor & Lawrence; following Tarra Simmons in WA, Keeda Haynes in TN, & challenges to Karen Whitsett in MI: & everything else on whatsontheballot.com]
