Incumbent Republican Rep. Bill Hager will face a challenger as he goes for his fourth and final term in his House District 89 seat.
Nichole Cyr, an accounting clerk for Seminole Gaming, filed to run for the seat as a Democrat on Feb. 4, ensuring Hager won’t skate into another term without a little effort.
HD 87 isn’t really on the table for Democrats, even though Republicans only have a slim advantage in voter registrations. Last time, Democrat Ryan Silvers had substantial funding and was only able to grab 47.5 percent of the vote against Hager on Election Day.
This cycle, Hager has already raised $93,000 for his campaign and has been able to keep $75,000 of that money on hand in his campaign account. Unless Cyr gets some serious checks from her employers, she is likely to fizzle come November.
