Hi! Can anyone here tell me what is up with the Wright/Skrmetta race?

So they are both Republicans, but Wright is said to have been a Dem that changed his party? Is there a Dem running for the PSC at all?

Yes, Wright was a Democrat, switched parties.

This was a runoff, R/R. No Dem ran in the initial election, must be a heavily Republican district. Skrmetta won by tying Wright to the President.
