NEWS UPDATE & OPEN THREAD FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 8, 2010.
NEW YORK:
Freshman Congressman Eric Massa (D) announced Wednesday he will not seek reelection, saying his cancer had returned. On Friday, Massa announced his retirement -- expressing "a profound sense of failure and a deep apology to all" -- after being named in an ethics investigation related to gay sex harassment conduct aimed at male staffers in his office. Massa, a married father of two, was a career military officer before entering politics. Massa's CD-29 moves into the toss-up column, with many prominent local names looking at the race in both major parties.
MASSACHUSETTS:
Congressman Bill Delahunt (D) announced Thursday that he will retire this year. The CD-10 seat favors the Democrats, but some of the potential Republicans have the potential to make this open seat race competitive.
FILING DEADLINES: Candidate filing closed last week in Mississippi and primary filing closed in Nebraska and North Carolina. Click on the state names to view the list of filed candidates.
ILLINOIS:
It took a full month after the February 2 primary to determine a winner in the GOP primary for Governor. But, after a recount, State Senator Bill Brady was declared the winner by 193 votes over his nearest rival. Brady will challenge Governor Pat Quinn (D) on the November ballot. Others running include attorney Rich Whitney (Green), auto worker Lex Green (Libertarian), and retired USMC veteran Randy Stufflebeam (Constitution).
UPCOMING CALENDAR: Candidate primary filing closes on March 8 in Arkansas, and March 9 in Pennsylvania and Oregon.
