Evelyn Farkas, the former Obama administration official and advocate for Burisma Holdings, lost her Democratic House primary for New York’s 17th district, coming in fourth place on Tuesday.
Although Farkas outraised most of her opponents, bringing in $1.2 million, her campaign platform that focused on combating Russian election influence did not appear to persuade many voters in the district.
While ballots are still coming in from district residents who voted by mail, as of Wednesday morning Farkas had received 9 percent of the vote.
Mondaire Jones, a 33-year-old former Justice Department official, holds a commanding lead in the primary with 44 percent of the vote. Adam Schleifer, a California prosecutor and son of a billionaire pharmaceutical mogul who largely self-funded his campaign, is in second place with 20 percent. State senator David Carlucci is in third place, with 13 percent.
