What happens after May 19
The winner of the Republican primary faces Kristofor King (D) in the November 3, 2026 general election. Hardin Local will revisit this race ahead of November — possibilities include a paid follow-up interview, a re-air of the primary interview, or a head-to-head debate if both nominees are interested. Either way, voters will hear from both sides.
