Ukrainian-born Spartz, criticized for Ukraine votes, wins primary fight

Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) is projected to win a hard-fought primary for reelection that centered on her record of support for her native Ukraine, according to the Associated Press.

Spartz — the first Ukrainian-born member of Congress — was facing a crowded field of challengers after she reversed her decision to not seek another term and reentered the race this year. Indiana state Rep. Chuck Goodrich stood out, self-funding his campaign with at least $4.6 million and attacking Spartz as a flip-flopper — first on her reelection plans and then on Ukraine aid.
