Socialist Tenant Organizer Hartzell Gray Loses Midwest Primary to Jordan Herrera in Missouri

HyperFast News

Summary

Jordan Herrera, an attorney and Air Force veteran, won the Democratic nomination in Missouri's newly redrawn 4th Congressional District, defeating democratic socialist Hartzell Gray. Gray, a tenant organizer who gained national attention for criticizing "sell-out Democrats," had significantly out-raised Herrera but failed to secure the nomination. This result places a more conventional Democrat on the November ballot against Republican Rep. Mark Alford in the GOP-leaning district.
