Tuesday’s run includes more than $ 136 million in advertising campaigns so far, several controversial U.S. House election rallies, and a race to be the top Colorado electoral nominee that includes a Republican candidate running for office. machines of the state.
Governor of Colorado, Senate and Secretary of State
Of the states that hold races on Tuesday, the issue of access to abortion and which party it deems may be most vulnerable to change in Colorado. Democrats in the state recently passed a law codifying abortion rights. . Colorado is in a unique position, as many of the surrounding states either had activation laws or proposed more restrictive abortion laws, such as Wyoming, Utah, Nebraska, Arizona and Oklahoma, and further afield, Texas.

Former Colorado Parker Mayor Greg Lopez and businessman Heidi Gannal both said in the aftermath of Dobbs’ decision that they were opposed to abortions in most cases. Ganahl told Colorado Public Radio in June that she was opposed to a new law protecting access to abortion. In the GOP primaries to face incumbent Democratic Sen. Michael Bennett, there is a clear difference between the two Republican candidates for abortion. Businessman Joe O’Dea does not believe in abortion bans and said he does not believe the government should be involved in the decision, according to an interview with Colorado Public Radio. “This is not a decision I think I have to make for someone else. I will stay where I am. I will not give up. It is important to me,” he said. His main opponent, state spokesman Ron Hanks, opposes abortion and said he did not support any exceptions. While he has made other issues such as immigration and energy at the forefront of his campaign, Hanks is the position of former President Donald Trump that the 2020 election “stole” and has pushed for legislation that would eliminate postal voting and early voting. Hanks declined to say whether he would accept the results of the by-elections. “We obviously have to see what we have to see here,” Hank said during a qualifying debate earlier this month. He was also out of the US Capitol on Jan. 6, but told CBS News he did not enter. “It was very inappropriate for anyone to go to the Capitol,” Hanks said in the first discussion. “I would not go up the stairs.” The Democratic Colorado team was the largest spender on qualifiers, with $ 4.2 million spent on Hanks focused on qualifiers, according to AdImpact. Hanks has also sued Colorado Secretary of State Jen Griswold for launching a third-party “check” for the 2020 Colorado election. President Joe Biden won the state by just 13 points. Griswald, a Democrat, has three Republicans vying for her in November. One is Mesa County employee Tina Peters, who has been charged with 10 counts in connection with an investigation into election fraud. He has pleaded not guilty. Peters believes the 2020 election was stolen and told the Colorado Sun: “This is a personal view based on what I have seen and experienced and based on what I know from our reports. I think there may have been a lot of fraud that came back. the elections “. Businessman Mike O’Donnell has not clarified whether he believes Biden was legally elected, but said the focus should be on elections this year and beyond. Another Republican candidate, Pam Anderson, said she believed the 2020 results were valid.
Illinois Governor Race
The Illinois run for governor has turned into a race among billionaires, as well as another example of Democrats trying to bolster a more right-wing opponent to help their chances in November. Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin was seen as a formidable general candidate against current Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker when he jumped in the race. The mayor of the state’s second most populous state, Aurora, Illinois, is a notable black Republican in the state and was funded with more than $ 50 million by GOP magnate Ken Griffin. But then even more money came in. Richard Uiline, owner of the shipping company Uline and a Trump donor, has backed state Sen. Darren Bailey, another right-wing lawmaker who has sued Pritzker for his stay-at-home orders at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with more than $ 9 millions of dollars. Trump backed Bailey at a rally in downtown Illinois on Saturday. The Pritzker campaign and the Union of Democratic Governors have spent more than $ 37 million on advertising, while the DGA has spent more than $ 24 million, according to AdImpact. Pritzker, whose family owns the Hyatt hotel chain, has also cut a check for at least $ 90 million for his campaign. The ads appeared to reinforce Bailey as “very conservative”, a possible repercussion on the basis of Republican primaries and a sign that they believe Pritzker is more likely to run against him in the general election. One of the DGA ads aired from May 13 to June 22 highlighted how Bailey “proudly embraces Trump’s agenda” “fighting for gun owners and the unborn.” Another attacks Irwin’s history as a defense attorney and says he has put “violent criminals on the streets” again, a similar line used by Republicans against Democrats in crime ads. Irwin, whose campaign has spent $ 43.7 million on advertising, has avoided talking about red meat issues for Republicans like Trump and what he would do as governor of abortions. His campaign, on the other hand, adopted a general electoral message approach and focused on tackling crime, particularly in Chicago, and reducing taxes. A Chicago Sun-Times / WBEZ poll found Irvin down 15 points in the Republican primary against Bailey. The poll was released before Griffin received Trump approval. “I have made a promise to President Trump that in 2024, Illinois will turn the red carpet for him because Illinois will be ready for President Trump,” Bailey told the rally. Other Republican candidates include businessman Jesse Sullivan, businessman Gary Rabine, former Senator Paul Schimpf and lawyer Max Solomon. Pritzker faces a Democratic challenger in veteran Beverly Miles.
Home Seats in Illinois
As a result of the restructuring and aggressive harassment by the state’s Democratic legislators, Illinois has two by-elections for the incumbent against the incumbent Congress. MP Rodney Davis, an established Republican who once represented a more politically competitive district, was dragged to a red ruby seat in the vast 15th District in central Illinois. She took part in qualifying battles with MP Mary Miller, a fancy conservative serving her first term in Congress. Trump backed Miller and backed her at Saturday’s rally with Bailey. During the rally, Miller said Rowe’s overthrow of Wade by the Supreme Court was a “historic victory for white people.” The campaign told her that she had read wrongly prepared remarks and wanted to say “right to life”. On Sunday, Davis’s campaign said the blunder was “another part of a troubling pattern of behavior he has shown since coming to Congress.” His campaign had previously highlighted Miller’s speech in January 2021, in which he praised Adolf Hitler when he spoke about education. “If we win a few elections, we will still lose, unless we win the hearts and minds of our children. This is the battle. Hitler was right about one thing: He said, ‘Whoever has youth has a future.’ “Our children are being propagandized,” he told a Moms for America rally in Washington, DC. He apologized and said he was “passionate about Israel.” Davis, who co-chaired Trump’s campaign in Illinois in 2020 and was an ally of the former president in a tough district, voted to set up a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack. This is different from the current Jan. 6 selection committee, which has only two Republicans – Wyoming MP Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Miller and his allies used this vote against him in advertisements and campaigns. Davis’s campaign and allies focused on his background, particularly his work on Trump’s tax bill in 2017, and reinforced by emphasizing Davis’ positions on abortion and immigration to address Republican voters. But Republican agents in the state and in Washington see Miller as the protagonist in the race against Davis, who has been in Congress since 2013, in part because of the new constituencies and the cross-party nature of primary voters. Miller also benefited from external spending from two allied airwaves that have linked Davis to the Democrats. The Club for Growth Action PAC and the Conservative Outsider PAC are the top foreigners in the fight with a total of $ 4.6 million spent on anti-Davis ads. Another qualifier to watch in Illinois is the Democratic primary in the 6th District between Dean Sean Casten and Marie Newman. The two represented only a fraction of the newly drawn 6th District, which leans toward the Democratic by about eight points, according to Dave Redistricting App. Newman tried to portray herself as the most progressive choice, but was seduced by a report from the Bureau of Ethics of Congress, which claimed …
