Ohio Primaries

[question everything]

There were two primaries yesterday, a Republican one and a Democratic one in two different districts. Both to fill open seats.

Will the winners, then, just be sworn in in D.C. or do they have to win general elections? A news story mentioned general elections.

If so, who will be their respective opponents? Did both districts hold a Democratic and a Republican primaries?

1. General election will be on November 2nd.

2. Thanks. But who, for example, will be Brown's Republican opponent?

Did they have their own primaries in the 11th District?

4. Brown is in the safe district.

"Brown will face Republican Laverne Gore in the Nov. 2 general election, though she is almost certain to succeed in that contest as the district is heavily gerrymandered to favor Democrats."

7. Thank you. Yes, I know the both districts are overwhelmingly one sided

It is just that the name of the opponents were never mentioned.

3. General Election on November 2...

OH 11: Shontel Brown (D) vs Laverne Gore (R)

OH 15: Allison Russo (D) vs Mike Carey (R)

6. Thanks. This was my question

5. There still is a General race.

The two districts are so overwhelmingly one party that the primary winner is pretty much a lock to win the General.
