NAT candidate hints at future run
SHANOGOWEE, Remm. – She lost a close race for the Senate, but dispatched NAT candidate Melayna Lewis hinted she’ll be back.
After conceding defeat to her Conservative opponent, Assemblywoman Shaylene McCullough, Ms. Lewis, a state representative from Shanogowee in southeast Remmington, tweeted “We’ll get ‘em next time!”, hinting she may be running for office again in the near future.
The curious tweet raised eyebrows, and left many speculating Ms. Lewis will challenge McCullough again in 2018, when Ms. McCullough will have to run for re-election to a full six-year term.
Sources in the national NAT party leadership say party elders are hopeful Lewis will run again in 2018.
“She’s our best shot at this point. She came very close, and with more money the next time around, NAT senators are hopeful we can get her elected,” said an aide to NAT Senate leadership, who asked not to be named because they weren’t permitted to speak to the media.
Lewis has said she will return to being a state representative for her district in Shanogowee, but refused to elaborate on her future plans.
