One final update for the evening. In the race to succeed Rep. Bud Cramer (D-AL5), Parker Griffith (D) has defeated Wayne Parker (R) in a close race, 52-48%. In the 22nd District of Texas, meanwhile, it appears Rep. Nick Lampson (D) will lose to challenger Pete Olson (R): with 94% of the vote in, Olson […] In Texas Rep. John Culberson (R) has been reelected to the 7th District, fending off a challenge from Michael Skelly. With two-thirds of the vote in, Culberson had a 55.7-42.7% lead. The news, though, is still not good for Nick Lampson, who continues to trail Republican challenger Pete Olson. With 41% of the vote in, […] In the race to succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Bud Cramer, another Democrat, Parker Griffith, is leading Republican Wayne Parker by a narrow margin: 51.3-48.7% with 60 percent of the vote in. (Updated stats from the AP show effectively the same margin with 63% of the vote in.) The 5th District of Alabama includes Huntsville and […] Results are trickling in in Texas Congressional races, and the news is mixed for a pair of Houston-area incumbents with a strong interest in space. In the 7th District, Republican Rep. John Culberson has an early lead over Democrat Michael Skelly, 54.7-43.9%, with 12% of the vote in. This district would normally be a safe […] Although there’s been no formal declaration or projection, it appears increasingly likely that Bill Posey will succeed Rep. Dave Weldon in Florida’s 15th Congressional District, on the Space Coast. With 84 percent of precincts reporting, Posey, a Republican, was leading Democrat Steve Blythe 54-40%. Weldon, of course, had been a strong advocate of NASA during […] The Rocky Mountain News in Denver has projected Mark Udall the winner for the open Senate seat in the state. Udall, who had been chair of the space subcommittee of the House Science and Technology Committee, gave up that seat to run for the Senate seat vacated by Republican Wayne Allard (who had a strong […] The Orlando Sentinel is projecting that Suzanne Kosmas will defeat incumbent Rep. Tom Feeney in Florida’s 24th Congressional District, which includes NASA/KSC. As of 8:30 pm EST, Kosmas was head of Feeney 57-41% with just over half of the precincts reporting. Feeney had been the ranking Republican on the space subcommittee of the House Science […] Today’s Houston Chronicle asks Houston-area Congressional candidates questions on key issues, which, not surprisingly, includes NASA. Specifically, the Chronicle asked the Democratic and Republican candidates in the 7th, 10th, and 22nd Districts, “Do you favor the Bush administration’s budget blueprint for NASA? Would you increase funding for the space agency?” The sound-bite-sized repsonses published by […] While both major presidential candidates have promised to increase NASA’s budgets, those promises are just that. It will be up to the next Congress to pass budgets that incorporate—or not—that additional funding, and at least one key House member is expressing his opposition not just for additional NASA funding, but for current spending levels. In […] Yesterday Florida Today formally endorsed Suzanne Kosmas in her bid to unseat incumbent Congressman Tom Feeney in Florida’s 24th district. While Feeney has a reputation as a strong space supporter in Congress (“No one disparages Feeney’s record as an advocate for NASA since his election in 2002,” the editorial notes), one of the reasons the […] |
