As the Advocate notes, Texas experienced something of a rainbow wave on Tuesday: “In races for the state House, LGBTQ nonincumbents Madeline Eden, Eric Holguin, Ann Johnson, and Eliz Markowitz won their primaries, as did incumbent LGBTQ state Reps. Julie Johnson, Erin Zwierner, Jessica González, Mary González, and Celia Israel. Holguin, Ann Johnson, and Markowitz are in swing districts that could be key pickups for Democrats this fall.”

In North Carolina, out Durham city council member Vernetta Alston won her primary for the General Assembly.

After today’s primary, @vernettaalston is one step closer to representing House District 29 in the North Carolina General Assembly. #SuperTuesday #ncga #ncpol pic.twitter.com/UXeL8TJwUR
