SD 13
(NonDoc)

(Editor’s Note: As mentioned previously, NonDoc will be highlighting political races we have deemed interesting as the 2016 election season rolls on. This is the first installment of a miniseries we’re calling #HotRace.)

As Sen. Susan Paddack (D-Ada) exits her District 13 seat owing to term limits, a diverse cast of candidates has emerged with hopes to take her place. In a nutshell, the Republican candidates have enough references to God, guns and (smaller) government to feed a herd of cattle, while Democrats hope to parlay a focus on education into victory.

The following overview outlines the SD 13 hopefuls for both sides in order of their reported campaign contributions as of the June 20 reporting deadline.
