Progressive

McAdams victory shows preference for centrist candidates in newly created Democratic-leaning district despite calls for bolder representation.

“Establishment advantages versus progressive mobilization in redrawn maps”

Conservative

Court-ordered redistricting manufactured a Democratic seat and McAdams prevailed through superior fundraising.

“Judicial intervention and outside money distorting outcomes”

Libertarian

Voters favored pragmatic moderation over further government expansion in the primary.

“Skepticism of court-drawn districts and major-party spending”
