You’re listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.
Tuesday, June 14th there are four states holding state primaries, including South Carolina, Nevada, North Dakota and Maine. South Carolina, North Dakota and Nevada all have U.S. Senate seats at stake, and all states have U.S. House and state races.
South Carolina’s Republican primary for the 1st US House District features, Nancy Mace, backed by former South Carolina governor and U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, vs. the Trump-endorsed Katie Arrington.
Maine’s primary features a preview of incumbent Democratic Governor Janet Mills’ November race against the man she unseated in 2018, former Governor Paul LePage. LePage was noted for his pugnacious and often offensive behavior while in office.
In ruby-red North Dakota, the AP reports that Governor Doug Burgum has been using some of his own substantial fortune to bankroll challengers to less loyal incumbents in state government, donating $935,000 to the Dakota Leadership PAC.
Finally to Nevada, where former attorney general & 2020 election denier Adam Laxalt is vying for a U.S. Senate seat. Trump administration loyalists have been stumping in Nevada, including Donald Trump Jr.
The best way to keep anti-democracy candidates from taking over your local, state and federal offices is to turn out and vote in YOUR state primary. Links to articles and voting information are available at AmericanDemocracy Minute.org
