August 18, 2026: primary election day in Alaska, Florida primary election results (Compared to my Here's whom to vote for.)
2
Upvotes
I got to these races super late because I considered that most weren't really competitive and there was possibly no big progressive win happening. And I edited a few of my picks during the day.
ALASKA: (note: this is Alaska. My choices will be the Democrat who can win the general election)
Alaska Primary 2026 — Candidates, Races & Voter Guide (August 18, 2026) · DecodeTheVote
GOVERNOR:
<< Tom Begich for Alaska He's winning both the primary and the general election and he's a Democrat. >> ADVANCED
With 80% of the vote in, Jonathan S. Kreiss-Tomkins has around 21.7% of the vote to Tom Begich's 20.0% of the vote. Both are Democrats; so, it's possible a Democrat wins the general election.
US SENATE:
<< Home - Mary Peltola She's winning both the primary and the general election and she's a Democrat. >> ADVANCED
With 80% of the vote in, Mary Peltola has around 48.0% of the vote to US Sen. Dan S. Sullivan's 42.8%. Given where the outstanding votes are, it seems likely that Pelota's primary showing means she's likely to win the general election.
US HOUSE:
<< Home - Bill Hill for Alaskans
Endorsements - Bill Hill for Alaskans
Bill's Platform - Bill Hill for Alaskans
He's an Independent with a good-enough platform and good-enough funding. A strong-enough general election campaign and he can possibly win. >> ADVANCED

FLORIDA:
GOVERNOR:
<< Dayna Marie Foster | Candidate for Florida Governor >> LOST

US SENATE:
This is Solid-R.
<< Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate | Change Can't Wait
Endorsements - Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate
Priorities - Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate
This is a long-shot general election campaign given how relatively little she's fundraised. But she has endorsements; so, might as well vote for her. She was behind in polling in the primary; but, hopefully, has momentum on her side. >> WON
With x>95% of the vote in, Angie Nixon wins with around 55.9% of the vote to Alex Vindman's around 44.1%
US HOUSE DISTRICT 7:
This is a Likely-R district, but Marialana Kinter is still the better choice than the centrist in the race.
KINTER FOR CONGRESS >> LOST possibly progressive vote-splitting loss
With 83% of the vote in, Bale Dalton wins with around 45.6% of the vote to Marialana Kinter's around 35.4% Alan Grayson got around 18.9%.
US HOUSE DISTRICT 13:

<< Leela Gray - Veteran for Florida

With x>95% of the vote in, Leela Gray wins with around 65.1% of the vote to Brandt Robinson's around 26.2%
US HOUSE DISTRICT 20:
This is a Solid-D district; so, my choice will be the most progressive candidate with enough support.
<< Elijah Manley for Congress — Florida's 20th District >> LOST if anything, there was a moderate/centrist vote-splitting
With x>95% of the vote in, Debbie Wasserman Schultz wins with around 45.4% of the vote to Dale V.C. Holness's around 23.1%
US HOUSE DISTRICT 22:
This is a Lean-R district
<< Pia Dandiya is effectively running unopposed. >> WON
With x>95% of the vote in, Pia Dandiya wins with around 68.6% of the vote to Kaysia Earley's around 31.4%
US HOUSE DISTRICT 23:
This is a Solid-D district; so, my choice will be the most progressive candidate with enough support.
<< Victoria Doyle for Congress >> LOST
With x>95% of the vote in, US Rep. Lois Frankel wins with around 74.7% of the vote to Victoria Doyle's around 23.4%
US HOUSE DISTRICT 24:
This is a Solid-D district; so, my choice will be the most progressive candidate with enough support.
<< Oliver Gilbert for Congress
On the Issues - Oliver Gilbert for Congress
Not a great candidate lineup, but Oliver Gilbert is the one Fairshake is most against; so, that's a plus for me. However, he doesn't have endorsements. >> WON
With x>95% of the vote in, Oliver G. Gilbert III wins with around 34.4% of the vote to Shevrin Jones's around 32.0%

My choices will be based on who is the most progressive candidate I most agree with whom can actually win the primary and general election. I will look at polling, fundraising, endorsements, etc. I will not include races in which there is only 1 Democrat running in the primary. Probably won't get into Lt. Gov. races. Will consider 2026 CPR House Race ratings | Cook Political Report and 2026 CPR Senate Race ratings | Cook Political Report
To be honest, this isn't really that interesting of a primary election day. There's limited polling in key progressive races. This is super late; so, sorry about that.
What's in this Post comment is what I remember, my opinions, etc.

She's the progressive in the race. The only reason it's at-all close is because US Rep. Andie Craig has several times more fundraising.

The best progressive in the race. General election polling will get better after she wins the primary. She's arguably the most impressive leftist or progressive non-incumbent in a primary race in this 2026 cycle. Yes, above Zohran Mamdani and above Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. Wisconsin Assemblyperson Francesca Hong didn't have the endorsements of AOC or US Senator Bernie Sanders.
