On the Republican side, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, endorsed by Trump, Reynolds, and Ernst, leads the pack, while former state Senator Jim Carlin trails. Democrats have State Representative Josh Turek, a Paralympian, and State Senator Zach Wahls, known for his testimony against a same-sex marriage ban, competing.
