The Illinois GOP is facing a triple whammy in #SD26 next year.
1) They have to defend a Harris+9 seat in a Democratic year
2) With an appointed incumbent
3) Against a popular Democratic opponent in State Rep Nabeela Syed.
They'll need all the luck they can get.

The Washington Republicans dumped a lot of money into trying to flip #SD26 last month, but they ended up losing this Harris+9 district by five points.
State Representative Michelle Caldier (a proven overperformer) was unable to unseat appointed incumbent Deb Krishnadasan.

This ended up being the only prison question; I have a story in the pipeline that will go more in-depth on the SD26 candidates’ answers to questions abt the Franklin County prison, taxes, and more. Follow @arkansasadvocate.com and subscribe to our newsletter to get the latest. #arpx
First prison question; surprised it took so long. Everyone is opposed to having prison in Franklin County. Read on for what candidates said (or very short summaries because I’m not the fastest typer) #arpx 👇

All five SD26 Republicans said they support current abortion laws in AR.
Independent Adam Watson said AR has strong laws on that front, but needs to focus on creating “pro-life culture,” via strengthening maternal health, education, and quality of life while not legislating into future #arpx

Alabama just selected a new State Senate map for the Montgomery area after the old one was struck down by the courts. This makes #SD25 a very marginal Trump-won district, while keeping #SD26 safely Democratic.

With Drazan running for governor, she has confirmed she is not seeking re-election to SD26.
This begs the question: why seek out the seat to begin with? Now Helfrich, who IS running and also sought out appointment to the seat, has less of an incumbency advantage in a purple district.

Though the person filling this position must also be a Democrat according to state law, Clackamas County Commission has a notable conservative bent.
A similar situation played out in SD26, where moderate Jeff Helfrich swept Multnomah County Commissioners' votes but lost to Christine Drazan.

Christine Drazan has been appointed to SD26, including part of Clackamas County (buff.ly/Gmk9Azd).
Drazan claims she will "give [her] absolute all". However, she seems to have a split focus, running for Gov again *as a senator.* We deserve politicians dedicated to Oregonians not to politicking.
