Does a mrquee contest mean a contest between major contenders, in the context below politicians?
In an election year when anger and mistrust have upended races across the country, toppling moderates and elevating white-hot partisans, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is trying to pull politics back to the middle, injecting himself into marquee contests and helping candidates fend off the Tea Party.

| Yes - used like that, marquee means leading, or pre-eminent. |
