Examples

“But with Haskell having the advantage of the incumbent — losing in the primary would be a big upset — and Conklin running as a third-party independent, with her legal experience as a Clallam County prosecutor 35 years in the past, the big fight to advance to the general from the Aug. 2 primary could come down to Stephanie vs. Stefanie.”
