CPAC-Endorsed Conservatives Score Major Primary Victories Across America

CPAC congratulates John James, Chris Stigall, and Kevin D. O’Brien on their well-earned recent victories. Their success is another reminder that conservative ideas remain powerful when courageous candidates take them directly to the voters. The primaries may be over, but the fight is just beginning. CPAC is proud to stand with these conservative leaders as they turn their attention toward November and work to deliver victories for freedom, limited government, and the American people.

Conservative voters delivered a clear message at the ballot box this week, propelling three CPAC-endorsed candidates to victory in critical Republican primaries. In Michigan, Congressman John James secured the Republican nomination for Governor, advancing to the November general election and giving conservatives a strong opportunity to bring principled leadership to Lansing. James has built his career fighting for the values that make America strong, and his victory demonstrates that Michigan Republicans are ready to rally behind a conservative vision for the future. 

In Missouri’s 6th Congressional District, conservative broadcaster Chris Stigall emerged victorious from a competitive five-candidate Republican primary, earning the opportunity to carry the conservative banner into November. 

Meanwhile, in Kansas, Kevin D. O’Brien won the Republican primary for State House District 101, defeating his opponent with more than 60 percent of the vote. These victories show that from Congress to state legislatures, grassroots conservatives are choosing candidates prepared to defend freedom, strengthen their communities, and stand up for the principles that have long defined the conservative movement.
