Once again, our sincerest congratulations to our new Republican nominee in the Arizona 8th Congressional district! Semper Fidelis !
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Last night’s Georgia primary returned two big wins for candidates The Twisters endorse.
Liz Carter handily took the win without need for a runoff in Georgia’s 4th District. Up against a field of three other candidates, Liz went to her celebration party with 54% of the vote and the hopes of millions of Americans that she can take out Hank “Guam might tip!!” Johnson in the General Election.
Tom Graves, who just recently won a special election on May 11th for Georgia’s 9th District, took last night’s primary with 49% of the vote and will face a runoff against Lee Hawkins.
Both candidates are signers of the Contract from America.
Last night was a big night across the country for some key races, some of which went quietly into the blogosphere and others that caused reverberations that will leave both Democrats and Republicans feeling the pressure that November is bringing…and with it, fall winds of change. Real change.
Signers of The Contract from America, with whom The Twisters are Coalition Partners, won key elections in three states and four races:
North Carolina: Bill Randall won the District 13 runoff against Bernie Reeves with almost 60% of the vote. While The Twisters didn’t get a chance to review Mr. Randall prior to the runoff, we will be keeping an eye on his campaign as he attempts to unseat incumbent Brad Miller.
South Carolina: Tim Scott, running in District 01 against Paul Thurmond, son of Strom Thurmond, walked off with 68% of the vote in this mandatory primary runoff.
Also taking home a big win in SC was Jeff Duncan out of District 03. Jeff faced primary challenger Richard Cash and came away with nearly 52% of the vote.
Utah: With all eyes of the nation on the dirty politics that seemed to permeate this election, Mike Lee trumped Tim Bridgewater’s run at the Utah Senate with 51% of the vote in what turned out to be a nail-biter of an election night.
The Twisters would like to congratulate all of these candidates on running clean campaigns and sticking with the principals of The Contract. Keep up the great work and we’re behind you!
November’s so bright, we’re all gonna have to wear shades!
