Sarah Adlakha, a Chicago native, is running against incumbent U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in the March 10 Republican Primary Election.
With less than six weeks before the party primary election, political newcomer Sarah Adlakha is attempting to draw distinctions between herself and her opponent in the Republican Primary, incumbent U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.
Adlakha is selling herself as the outsider fighting against “entrenched political interests.” On Thursday, Adlakha said if elected, she would not accept money “from Washington lobbyists.”
