His opponent, Heidi Ganahl, and Hanks’ opponent, Joe O’Dea, have less extreme positions, Owens says, which makes them more of threat to Democrats in November. The last time Republicans were played was 2010. Democrats sunk millions of dollars in the Republican primary for governor to help Dan Maes. He went on to capture just 11% of the vote in the general election and Democrats won the governor’s seat.
