Shontel Brown won the Ohio Democratic primary Tuesday in the race to replace Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge in Congress, dealing a blow to progressives such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) who campaigned against her.
Brown’s opponent, former state Sen. Nina Turner (Ohio), conceded in a speech on Tuesday night and vowed to support progressives going forward.
“Tonight, my friends, we have looked across the promised land, but for this campaign, on this night, we will not cross the river,” Turner told her supporters from the stage.
“I am going to work hard to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen to another progressive candidate again,” she said. “We didn’t lose this race, evil money manipulated and maligned this election.”
Brown’s win over Turner represents a major victory for the Democratic Party’s establishment flank in Ohio’s deep-blue 11th Congressional District as it seeks to hold the line against progressives in Washington.

This is so good. This is right in the heart of our family communities. The worst of these “progressive” democrats is so unruly that they beg to be the stamp of greatness today.
It is nice to see a good fine lady like Shontel add to our health and wellness and we wish her the very best. I love that she has no deception and she has no prim rose wage rage like half the others today.
Candidly, we are seeing that Hashem has let us into more pace to bear that our community days can avoid this very unruly ugly side of unorthodox unauthorized hate in our nation. A good win.
“We didn’t lose this race, evil money manipulated and maligned this election.”
What a bunch of crock. Turner is a hater and she lost because the VOTERS rejected her and her blatant racism!
