Congress candidate

Libertarian Maad Abu-Ghazalah is running for Congress in District 7, a challenge to the district's incumbent representation. The announcement, reported by Wilmington-area news outlet WHQR, puts a third-party candidate on the ballot and gives voters an alternative to the major-party nominees. Little detail has emerged so far about the campaign platform or the size of the race field.

Candidates vying for an open US House seat in Washington state faced off in a debate centered on immigration, inflation and Iran. The Seattle Times covered the contest, which highlights the key issues shaping the race. The open seat has drawn attention as voters weigh the candidates' positions on the economy and foreign policy ahead of the election.
