Judson Hill planned to run a primary challenge against a moderate Republican who had made a habit of siding with the Democrats. However, thanks to the efforts of a judicial panel charged with redrawing legislative districts, Hill eventually found himself in a race with, among others, local State Representative and former State Superintendent of Education candidate, Mitchell Kaye.

Hill had the sort of resume consultants and direct mail vendors dream of. A handsome family man, former Reagan administration official, and active in his community, Hill presented his consultant, Joel McElhannon, and the Stoneridge Group with a broad canvas with which to work.

Hill finished second to Kaye in the primary. During the runoff, Hill made concerted efforts to convince the other primary opponents and much of the party establishment to rally around his candidacy. Due to the excitement surrounding Hill’s campaign, and some lingering concern regarding some of Kaye’s legislative miscues (not the least of which was his legislation to allow guns in schools), securing endorsements didn’t prove to be a difficult undertaking.

Hill easily defeated Kaye in the runoff, and later coasted to a general election victory, defeating Democrat Akhtar Sadiq 74%-26%.
