HOUSE
With Rep. Blunt Rochester running for Senate, there was a big opening for many in the state. This led to many contenders joining, including progressive activist Kerri Evelyn Harris, State Senator Sarah McBride, Fmr. Governor Jack Markell, and State Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro (though the last was forced to suspend his campaign in the last 3 days of the primary due to sexual harassment allegations).

In the end, it was McBride who ended up on top, and went on to win over local loony bin member Lauren Witzke, who predictably went crazy about a trans person being her opponent.

Activist Lauren Witzke: 35.5%
