KOEURN, Ansleigha -- Nationalists have recruited a top-tier candidate to take on the top Conservative in the Senate.
Senate Minority Leader Jon Ralston (C-Ansleigha) is up for re-election in 2020, and Nationalists have been eager to oust him from office.
They will get their chance in the 2020 election, when his Senate seat is up for grabs.
Today, top state NAT party leaders confirmed former Senator Carol DelLorean (pronounced Dell-Lory-On) will run against Ralston.
DelLorean previously represented Ansleigha in the Senate from 2011-2017. She was defeated by a sliver in the 2016 election by Conservative Ellie Higgins.
The former senator has not officially announced her candidacy, and but party leaders and friends of DelLorean have confirmed she will run.
Her candidacy means Ralston, an outspoken Conservative, will likely face a tough re-election battle in 2020.
DelLorean is well-known in the state, is wealthy and well-connected.
An ardent liberal, she is somewhat divisive but articulate and can go toe-to-toe with Ralston.
Both are strong campaigners and both have strong personalities, making for an epic race.
A spokeswoman for DelLorean declined to comment.
A spokesman for Ralston's campaign responded with sarcasm, saying the minority leader would welcome DelLorean's candidacy.
"If she wants to run, great!" said spokesman Joshua Isaacs. "If Carol DelLorean wants to run on her record of big government, unlimited taxes and spending, and failed, radical social policy, our campaign would love to stand against her."
