WASHINGTON—Candidates supported by America’s Credit Union PAC and state leagues won across three states Tuesday.
In Florida, the League of Southeastern Credit Union and America’s Credit Unions said they jointly backed Mike Haridopolos (R) in the state’s 8th Congressional district to replace retiring Rep. Bill Posey, who is not seeking re-election. Haridopolos won with 72% of the vote.
Credit union-supported candidates in Alaska, Mary Peltola, and Wyoming, Harriet Hageman, both won their races. Both states are at-large states.
Senate Races
In Senate races, Sen. Rick Scott (R) will face Democratic challenger Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in in Florida this November, while Sen. John Barrasso won his primary race in Wyoming.
Several states still have primaries ahead. Massachusetts holds its primary on Sept. 3, while the last primaries for the 2024 election cycle take place in three states on Sept. 10 – Delaware, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
Also in Washington:
America’s Credit Unions said Bakari Sellers, a former member of the South Carolina House of Representatives, political commentator, attorney, and a two-time New York Times bestselling author, will give the closing keynote at its Congressional Caucus.
The event will be held from Sept. 8-11 in Washington.
“Bakari Sellers is a speaker our members can relate to and will be inspired by his story,” ACU President/CEO Jim Nussle said in a statement. “From The start of his career at the South Carolina state house as the youngest legislator in state history, to becoming a voice folks seek out to help shape culture movements – like his father before him – is laudable. His life-long efforts mirror the credit union mission of helping and fighting for the people and communities they serve.”
