message: Should there even be a separate section for donors? That seems pretty unusual. I'd be in favor of updating and folding this info into another section.Frankam12 (talk)
:No, this section is non-standard, out-of-date, and poorly sourced. I would be in favor of removing it all together and perhaps putting a link to his OpenSecrets page in the external links section. Champaign Supernova (talk) 16:55, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

message: Some of this article is clearly not NPOV, such as: "Crowley has committed to making sure immigrants have access to the rights and freedoms they deserve."  That sounds like it was lifted from campaign literature.  I know almost nothing about Congressmen Crowley.  Could someone with more knowledge make the article more neutral?

thread_title:  Not NPOV 

message: Nothing in the source cited says anything about the historical relevance of the upset. While this would be relevant for the page (maybe the first section?), that sort of claim requires citation.
I've removed it for now, because this is an active news story and I almost quoted it myself citing the Washington Post article, and I think it's reasonable other people almost (or did) make that mistake as well. I'll come back to this in a bit and look around myself for any citation for similar claims, but other people should feel free to do it themselves, too.

replies: text: FWIW I agree with your edit. Too much WP:Recentism. What about Tom Foley and Dan Rostenkowski's defeats in 1994. Ron Packard being elected as a write-in after losing the Republican primary in 1982? Unfortunately my congressional election knowledge thins out for anything before 1980. Its all a matter of opinion and this is an encyclopedia....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:30, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Claim that "Crowley’s unexpected defeat is considered one of the biggest upsets in congressional history." requires sourcing.
