Someone asked me this recently, and I’ve seen the same question pop up in several social media groups.
The answer: It depends.
Republican Statewide Elections
The statewide Republican ticket has already been decided:
Winsome Earle-Sears – Gubernatorial Candidate
John Reid – Lt. Governor Candidate
Jason Miyares – Attorney General Candidate
Since the nominees for these top offices are set, there is no statewide Republican Primary this year.
Down-ballot Races
Local races are a different matter.
Depending on where you live, there may be a Republican Primary for down-ballot races in your area.
