December 2016
It's about time we start the project of updating for latest results. Yes? Johathom7 (talk) 20:29, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

18th District Democrat is Junius Rodriguez
District 18 is outdated, but better that someone else edit this: Darrel Miller didn't make the write-in threshold to get to the general election, but Junius Rodriguez made the petition signature threshold afterwards, is on the ballot as the Democrat in the general election, and has been campaigning all summer. Candidate Office Filing Search shows Rodriguez listed. Also: http://rodriguezcongress.com/ is the official Rodriguez for Congress site, if we're listing external links. (Looks like we are for U.S. Senate races, but not for the House, at least not in this article.) Also, the Junius Rodriguez article hasn't been updated to mention his run for Congress either. (That article's been on Wikipedia since 2007 and tagged COI since then, and probably needs to be looked over to see if the COI tag can be removed.) --Closeapple (talk) 20:41, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
