    LD 11 State Senate clean elections debate between former Republican House  Rep. Vince Leach and Democrat Ralph Atchue.  Atchue ran for this seat previously in Nov. 2016 and lost to Republican LD  11 Senator Steve Smith.  (Smith ran for CD 1 in 2018 and lost that bid, so this is an open seat). Green Party candidate Mohammad Arif is also seeking a Senate seat.

    State Representative Leach favors dark money and subsidizing the rich.
