Probably worth pointing out that for this recent tendency of both major parties to nominate extremists (cough, Shaun Scott) as our society further fragments from distrust to outright hostility and intolerance it may have just flipped the 18th Senate seat to the mainstream option. And if Cortes turns out to be a southwest MGP type as a former Republican then between him and Chapman in the 24th there will thankfully still be folks in the Senate Democratic Caucus who being a more nuanced and realistic perspective to the table.
