The midterm elections have a big impact on the policies that affect our day-to-day lives. So we’re here to help you Skimm Your Ballot. And Skimm what’s going on next week…

State(s) of Play: On Tuesday, June 28, there are primary elections in Colorado (Senate, House, Governor), Illinois (Senate, House, Governor), New York (Senate, Governor), Oklahoma (Senate, House, Governor), Utah (Senate, House), and primary runoff elections in Mississippi.

The Talkers: 

• In Colorado, redistricting created a new competitive House district just north of Denver — and increased the odds that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R) will keep her seat.

• In Illinois, Rep. Bobby Rush (D) is retiring after three decades serving Chicago’s South Side. Now, 17 Dems are running to replace him, including one of Jesse Jackson’s sons. 

• In New York, voters will head to polls for the first of two primaries. In this one, Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) — who took office after Andrew Cuomo’s resignation —  is running for her first full term. While she has the advantage over the Dems, the GOP race is much tighter. Rep. Lee Zeldin and Andrew Giuliani (yes, the son of Rudy Giuliani) are in an almost dead heat, according to one poll. Meanwhile, both parties' primaries for the seat held by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D) are uncontested.

• In Oklahoma, voters get to choose two Senate nominees. The first is for the office held by incumbent James Lankford (R), who some expect will keep his seat. The second is to replace Sen. James Inhofe (R), who is retiring. With 13 candidates in that GOP primary, it’s a crowded race. 

• In Utah, for the first time ever, there won’t be a Democrat running in the Senate election. That’s because Dems opted to back Evan McMullin, an independent. He’ll likely face incumbent Sen. Mike Lee (R), who is expected to win over his two GOP challengers.
