Former State Senator Lee Bright is set to win the Republican primary election for State Senate District 12, having received 50.9% of the vote. If the results remain certified, he will run unopposed on the Dec. 23 ballot. Bright previously held the seat from 2009 to 2017 and is the lead sponsor of the Constitutional Carry bill and the Firearms Freedom Act. The special election follows the resignation of Senator Roger Nutt, who resigned due to a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease.
