WASHINGTON—All 15 credit union-backed candidates won their primaries in Maine, Nevada, North Dakota, and South Carolina this week, America’s Credit Unions reported.
Each candidate was supported by America’s Credit Unions PAC and the league from their state or district.
Credit union “champion” Rep. Williams Timmons (R) won his primary in South Carolina’s 4th district, backed by a $200,000 targeted advertisement campaign from America’s Credit Unions and the Carolinas Credit Union League.
“Rep. Timmons has been a supporter of credit unions on issues like protecting interchange, privacy and reducing regulatory burden,” ACU noted.
Additionally, Ohio State Senator Mike Rulli (R) won the special general to fill the vacant 6th district congressional seat left vacant by former Rep. Bill Johnson.
Primaries Next Week
Next Tuesday, June 18, Virginia and Oklahoma will be holding their primaries, and America’s Credit Unions PAC is backing eight candidates. Georgia will also hold its runoff election Tuesday, with America’s Credit Unions PAC backing Republican Mike Dugan in the 3rd Congressional district primary.
Credit union-backed candidates have a success rate over 98% in the 2024 cycle, ACU stated.
