Republican Secretary of State Candidates Overcome Massive Spending to Win Three Seats
Washington D.C. - Republicans were successful in overcoming the deluge of outside spending from national liberal groups to maintain their 28-seat Secretary of State majority by winning three races in Missouri, Montana, and West Virginia last night. RSLC President Dee Duncan issues the following statement:
“Voters made it clear they trust Republicans to be their state’s chief election officer and champion policies that will make elections secure and fair,” said RSLC President Dee Duncan. “We knew coming into this election cycle we would be heavily outspent by national liberal organizations that wanted to have a tight grip on state election systems. However, through effective fundraising and early and strategic investments, we were able to cut through the noise and get Republicans across the finish line. Congratulations to the electedRepublican secretaries of state on their victories last night.”
In Missouri, Denny Hoskins was elected as Secretary of State.
In Montana, incumbent Christi Jacobsen won re-election as Secretary of State.
