Ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, The Haitian Times listed the governor and Senate races it says Haitian Americans should watch beyond Florida, in states from Georgia to Massachusetts.

In Georgia, home to about 20,000 Haitians, former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat, faces Republican Rick Jackson, a billionaire backed by President Trump and Gov. Brian Kemp who has reportedly spent nearly $200 million of his own money. An AJC/UGA poll taken October 7 to 15 had Jackson at 46% and Bottoms at 45%. Sen. Jon Ossoff faces Republican Mike Collins.

In Ohio, where Springfield's Haitian community is estimated at 10,000 or more, Democrat Amy Acton faces Republican Vivek Ramaswamy to succeed Gov. Mike DeWine, who supported Haitians and TPS. In the Senate race, Sen. Jon Husted faces former Sen. Sherrod Brown.

In Massachusetts, the heart of a New England community of about 120,000 Haitians, Sen. Ed Markey faces Republican John Deaton. Markey has pushed to restore TPS for Haitians; in June he and Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester introduced a bill to designate Haiti for the program.

In New York, a Marist poll taken October 22 to 25 had Gov. Kathy Hochul at 53% and Republican Bruce Blakeman at 42%. Hochul signed a 2026 law restricting local law enforcement agreements with ICE, which Blakeman opposed.

The newspaper also points to Texas, where Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico were in a toss-up for the Senate; Pennsylvania, where a Quinnipiac poll had Gov. Josh Shapiro well ahead; Michigan, where Jocelyn Benson led John James for governor; and North Carolina, home to a growing Haitian community, where Roy Cooper led Michael Whatley by 14 points in the Senate race.
