ARIZONA: Bisexual Wins House Primary

Yesterday Kyrsten Sinema won the Democratic primary for the U.S. House, advancing her bid to become the first-ever openly bisexual member of Congress. Julie Bolcer reports at The Advocate:

The Arizona Republic called the race for Sinema around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. She defeated former Arizona Democratic Party chairman Andrei Cherny and state Senate minority leader David Schapira, taking 42.5% of the vote with 64.5% of precincts reporting. Sinema will go on to face the winner of the Republican primary, which remained too close to call early Wednesday. Because the 9th Congressional District based in Tempe is new, whoever wins the general election would become the first person to represent the district, therefore Sinema stands to make history twice.
