Incumbent Sen. Blake Johnson (R-Corning) aimed to be Senate majority leader next session. Turns out, he won’t even be in the Senate, after losing the Republican primary in Senate District 21 to Rep. Jeremy Wooldridge (R-Marmaduke). Johnson had Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ endorsement and an incumbent advantage, but neither mattered much when the votes were counted. With 100% of the votes in, Wooldridge beat Johnson 62% to 38%, a margin of nearly 3,000 votes.
