It is official—State Senator Kyle McCarter will challenge incumbent John Shimkus in the Republican primary this coming spring in the 15th Congressional District. Senator McCarter made multiple campaign stops on Wednesday to make the announcement official. He says it’s time to turn around Washington and have a new leader from the 15th Congressional District.
Shimkus is currently serving his 10th term in Congress and McCarter likened the challenging of a long time incumbent in the race to David versus Goliath, but he said a tough campaign is worth the struggle because the end result will be good for families and communities, and good for businesses and the economy.
