What surprises do you see? I see a few mild upsets – Flowers over Jones-Potter (surprisingly high margin), Navarro over Walsh (a blowout) and Bolden over Plant. There were a few close calls as well – Korn-Matlusky, Booth-Bodenweiser & Kilpatrick-Protack. The labor-backed challengers also did quite well in the open seat races – Rebecca Walker in RD9 and Ed Osienski in RD24. Maravelias did not prevail over incumbent Jaques in RD27, however.
