With current Senator Tony Luetkemeyer term-limited, three Republicans—Sean Pouche, Mike Jones, and Ryan Gerster—and two Democrats—Shereka Barnes and Pam May—are battling it out. The GOP candidates bring military backgrounds and divergent views: Pouche champions Second Amendment rights, Jones pushes tax cuts and first responders, while Gerster takes a more libertarian stance on gun regulation. Democrats Barnes and May, both familiar with local education and governance, oppose Amendment Five’s tax hikes and support Amendment Four’s direct democracy. This primary could shape the future of the district—and the state—setting the stage for a pivotal November showdown.
