..........Most (but not all) are Democrats. I am marking incumbents with an (I) and Republicans with a star (*).
Senate Races:
Kay Hagan in NC (pictured)
Mark Warner in Va.
Al Franken in Minn.
Susan Collins in Maine* (I)
Mark Begich in Alaska (his opponent is Sen. Ted Stevens, now a felon)
Jim Martin in Georgia
Bruce Lunsford in Kentucky
There are also senate races in New Hampshire, Mississippi, Colorado and New Mexico among other states.
Congressional Races:
In North Carolina:
Brad Miller (I)
Heath Shuler (I) (pictured)
David Price (I)
Howard Coble (I)*
In Virginia:
Tom Perriello
Sam Rasoul
Frank Wolf (I)*
Gerry Connolly
There are obviously other Congressional races in both states, and many more around the country. But, I figured if I didn't draw the line somewhere I might need to endorse my picks for the Alamance County (Burlington, NC) County Commissioners race.
Kudos to Kay Hagan for winning her seat over Republican senator Elizabeth Dole in NC. Back in the spring, this looked like a long-shot effort and there were concerns when neither Gov. Mike Easley (D) or Cong. Brad Miller (D-NC) stepped forward to challenge Dole . I have tremendous faith in Hagan, who is a state senator from Greensboro and I am delighted in her victory.
