Wyoming Could Get First Jewish Representative
According to this article in yesterday’s Wyoming Tribune-Eagle, Democratic candidate Gary Trauner is now in a statistical dead-heat with Rep. Barbara Cubin for Wyoming’s single House seat.
Down in Kentucky, where Democrat John Yarmuth also has the potential to make history as his state’s first Jewish member of the House, polls are showing that incumbent Anne Northrup is hanging on to a slight advantage.
