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.

In a primary challenge, Rep. Andy Ogles was defeated by Charlie Hatcher, whose candidacy served as a microcosm of larger forces within the Republican Party. The race attracted attention due to Super PAC spending and Ogles' opposition to renewable energy investments made under the Biden Administration. A review found that the super PAC is bankrolled by Chris Larsen, who has previously contributed to Kamala Harris's failed presidential campaign.
