Retiring Rep. Nydia Vel\u00e1zquez endorsed Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso to replace her, but state Assembly Member Claire Valdez <u>secured the primary victory<\/u>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Elsewhere, incumbent Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat lost to democratic socialist and organizer Darializa Avila Chevalier, who helped lead pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. Former City Comptroller Brad Lander <u>won out<\/u> over incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman in a contested race centered around the war in Gaza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In a crowded race for retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler\u2019s seat that featured a Kennedy scion and former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway\u2019s ex-husband, state Assembly Member Micah Lasher <u>narrowly beat<\/u> former Palantir employee Alex Bores. The race saw millions of dollars in campaign funds from artificial intelligence companies both attacking and supporting Bores. Lasher criticized Bores, who promised to introduce sweeping AI regulations, for his continued connections to the technology companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><b>Maryland House and Governor Primaries\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Maryland Gov. Wes Moore <u>sailed to<\/u> the Democratic nomination for governor after a challenge from physician Eric Felber. Felber ran on a markedly more progressive platform, opposing data centers and pushing for Maryland\u2019s minimum wage to rise to $30 an hour by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=375\">Maryland, New York, Utah Voters Head to the Polls for Primaries<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Dan Cox, a former state delegate who lost to Moore in 2022, will face him again in November. Cox <u>beat<\/u> businessman Ed Hale, a lifelong Democrat who switched his party affiliation for the primary contest. Trump hasn\u2019t endorsed anyone in the race, despite backing Cox in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Delegate Adrian Boafo <u>clinched<\/u> the Democratic nomination in the 5th District to replace Rep. Steny Hoyer, the longest serving Democrat in the House. Boafo\u2019s endorsement from Hoyer and a controversial $11 million injection of campaign funding from pro-Israel and cryptocurrency groups led him to victory in a race that featured over 20 candidates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In one of the most expensive House races nationwide, Incumbent Rep. April McClain Delaney <u>bested<\/u> her predecessor, David Trone, to retain her seat in Maryland\u2019s 6th District. Trone left the House in 2024 to seek the Senate seat ultimately won by Sen.

But redistricting ordered by the Utah Supreme Court turned the 1st District into a blue island anchored by Salt Lake City. Former Mayor Ben McAdams <u>secured a decisive win<\/u> over state Sen. Nate Blouin and will face former Trump White House staffer Riley Owen, who ran unopposed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Rep. Blake Moore, who previously represented the 1st District, won the primary for the new 2nd District with the support of Trump, <u>beating out<\/u> state Rep. Karianne Lisonbee.
