Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

8 States Hold Primary Votes

HeadlineJun 07, 2006

Here in the United States, eight states held primaries on Tuesday. In one of the day’s most watched races, Republican Brian Bilbray narrowly won the seat vacated by jailed former Congressmember Randy “Duke” Cunningham in San Diego. California State treasurer Phil Angelides won the Democratic primary to take on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in November. And in a race we covered yesterday on Democracy Now, incumbent Congressmember Jane Harman beat out anti-war candidate Marcy Winograd in the Democratic primary in California’s 36th district. Winograd defied expectations and captured nearly 38% of the vote.
