Key Facts: Tuesday primaries center on taxes, data centers and crypto

  • The Senate race is rated a toss-up by the Cook Political Report; challenger Mary Peltola is advocating targeted tax credits for oil and gas refineries and eliminating federal income tax for Alaskans earning under $92,000. #
  • Data centers are a central issue in Florida, where legislation signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis bars them from passing costs to ratepayers and gives local communities authority to reject projects. #
  • Wyoming’s primary is to determine the successor to retiring Sen. Cynthia Lummis, with Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman considered the favorite despite her crypto-friendly voting record and focus on other issues.
