Last night, over one hundred thirty friends and supporters of Michelle Coelho gathered at The Amber Room to kick-off her second attempt to flip the historically conservative-leaning State Senate seat back to the GOP.
The race for the State Senate seat in the 24th district was one of the most competitive races in the 2022 election cycle, with Coehlo coming closer than another Republican in unseating a Democratic incumbent.
Republicans are more enthusiastic about defeating incumbent Julie Kushner than in previous cycles. They describe the three-term incumbent as an out-of-touch lawmaker more interested in union interests, with proposals such as expanding paid sick leave and providing unemployment benefits for striking workers while dismissing opposing viewpoints from residents in the historically conservative-leaning district.
State Republicans have made taking back the historically conservative stronghold 24th State Senate seat their top priority this campaign cycle. Last night, they backed up their stance with several high-profile appearances in support of Coehlo, ranging from GOP Party chairman Ben Proto and GOP Congressional candidate George Logan to State Senate Minority Leader Steve Harding, and a multitude of present and former GOP elected officials from throughout the district.
Here are highlights from last night's event.
