Comments off? That's telling.

Did anyone ask Barry Anderson why he endorsed Rob Sand? Did anyone listen to his concerns?
Voters consistently say they want more bipartisanship and less partisan warfare. Sometimes people cross the aisle because they believe it's the right thing to do.

Today, on Father’s Day, we celebrate all those who have stepped into the role of a father figure including dads, stepdads, grandfathers, mentors, foster parents, and anyone who has provided love, guidance, and support.

We also recognize the single parents doing double duty, carrying both roles with strength and dedication every day.

And we hold space for those for whom today is difficult: those whose fathers have passed away, those who are estranged from their dads, those grieving a loss, and those longing to be fathers themselves.

Families come in many forms, and love, care, and commitment are what truly matter. Wishing comfort, gratitude, and appreciation to everyone navigating this day in their own way.

It is not the norm to put out a statement that you will not endorse your primary opponent. The significance of this moment is that Hinson has internal roadblocks in her own party to build a coalition to get her elected.

What does that mean for us? It means we work even harder to get Democrats elected up and down the ticket. We door knock, show up in the community, and more importantly go vote.

After losing the Republican U.S. Senate primary by a wide margin, Jim Carlin says he can't ask his supporters to vote for GOP nominee Ashley Hinson. See link below ⬇️
