Trump-backed incumbent loses primary after super PAC bankrolled by Dems meddled in race
Rep. Andy Ogles lost a primary challenge to Charlie Hatcher; this race was noted for external attention and internal conflicts regarding government subsidies. The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition super PAC spent roughly $2 million opposing Ogles, which led Ogles to accuse the group of attempting to undermine him over renewable energy investments. The super PAC is bankrolled by Chris Larsen, who is a frequent Democratic donor.
