ATLANTA — Women running for governor in Wisconsin and Maryland breastfeed their infants in campaign videos. Another in Georgia tells voters that “the folks who have held the office of governor don’t look like me.” The record number of women expected to run for office this year are already breaking barriers, upending traditional campaigning by emphasizing their gender as they introduce themselves to an electorate they hope is eager for change. “Some say no man can beat Larry Hogan,” Maryland Democratic candidate Krish Vignarajah says into the camera as she breastfeeds her daughter.

  • Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa could narrowly miss out on NFL record
    South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Friday - 12/27/2024 - 03:31 PM

    MIAMI GARDENS — If Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is a razor-sharp 26 of 30 passing in each of his next two games, he’ll finish the season completing 74.7 percent of his passes and narrowly surpass Drew Brees’ all-time single season completion record of 74.4 percent, established in 2018. There’s a chance that happens, but it’s a longshot, similar to the Dolphins’ playoff hopes. It’s been that type of frustrating season for Tagovailoa, who leads the Dolphins (7-8) into Sunday’s game at Cleveland (3-12) having completed a career-best and league-leading 72.9 percent of his passes this season. Tagovailoa was asked the possibility of establishing that completion percent record earlier this month. “That would mean a lot,” he said, “but I think for us, right now, just trying to keep the main goal, the main goal and to find a win this Sunday and go on a run that we’ve been talking about in that locker room as a team, that would be a little more special than any other record I would say.” That didn’t happen.
