Man sentenced to 35 years in prison for sexually assaulting child relative

LENGTH: 340 words
A former Brownwood man was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child in a two-day bench trial before 35th
District Judge Steve Ellis last week and sentenced to 35 years in prison.
First Assistant District Attorney Chris Brown presented evidence that James Tonkovich, 57, a native of Anchorage,
Alaska who worked in the food service industry, sexually assaulted a female relative in Montana, New Mexico,
Colorado and Brown County. The assaults started when the girl was 5 and ended when she was 9, according to
testimony.
Tonkovich, who was represented by defense attorney Kirk Fulk of Goldthwaite, pleaded not guilty. The trial ended
Friday.
In 2017, when the girl was 13, she made an outcry to a counselor in Sitka, Alaska, where she was attending boarding
school. Sitka police contacted the Brown County Sheriff's Office and sheriff's detective Chuck Woods began
coordinating an investigation, testimony showed.
Tonkovich was living with his wife and the victim in Brown County the final location where the assaults occurred
where he'd come for a food service job, according to testimony. The girl and her mother Tonkovich's wife, from whom
Tonkovich is now divorced returned to Alaska.
Tonkovich was living in Cisco and working as a chef when the girl made the outcry, testimony showed.
At the time of the trial, Tonkovich was working as the manager of a fast food restaurant in Lubbock.
Tonkovich and his now-ex-wife met in Washington State in AA meetings, accoridng to testimony.
Tonkovich was indicted for continuous sexual abuse of a young child or children, but Ellis found the state did not meet
the burden of proving that charge. Ellis instead found Tonkovich guilty of the lesser included charge of aggravated
sexual assault of a child.
Fulk sought to show the charge against Tonkovich was based on a false charge and that Tonkovich's ex-wife was trying
to get Tonkovich's parental rights terminated. Fulk also argued that there was insufficient evidence to support a
conviction for continuous sexual abuse of a child.

DES MOINES -- Talk about bad timing.

West Des Moines attorney Thomas Duff applied as a candidate for Gov. Kim Reynolds to consider for a vacant Iowa
Court of Appeals judgeship days before he agreed to represent ousted Department of Human Services Director Jerry
Foxhoven in a wrongful termination claim under applicable whistleblower laws against the Reynolds administration.
"I will tell you my timing is not very good," Duff told the 17-member State Judicial Nominating Commission who
conducted interviews of 20 minutes each Monday for nine men and seven women who applied to replace Judge Gayle
Vogel on the state appellate panel. Vogel retired on July 1.
Duff said he filed his application "before Mr. Foxhoven ended up at my doorstep" and felt an obligation to "get that out
of the way first" in making his sales pitch to the commission to consider him for the judicial-branch position.
"I would say to you I'm in the business of filing lawsuits and representing people, and I don't turn away what I believe
to be good cases with good clients," said Duff, who has been practicing private law both for plaintiffs and defendants
for 30 years. "I have every confidence that if I were honored enough to get to have an interview in front of the governor
that she would be able to put that aside and realize that I am doing what lawyers do and that is represent their clients."
Duff's fate became a moot point when the commission chose Ames attorney Timothy Gartin, District Judge Myron
Gookin of Fairfield and District Judge Julie Schumacher of Schleswig as the three candidates whose names were
submitted to the governor for consideration.
Foxhoven and Duff held a news conference last week in which the attorney said he plans to file a legal claim on
Foxhoven's behalf with the State Appeals Board before moving forward with a lawsuit against the state. He expected the
process would span 18 months to two years to resolve unless a settlement can be worked out to Foxhoven's liking.
In announcing his intention to sue the state of Iowa over his forced resignation, Foxhoven said he questioned the
legality of the funding of a staff position for a person within the Governor's Office whom he believed no longer was
furthering the department's goals. However, he said before he could consult with the Iowa Attorney General's Office on
the matter, he was told by an official in Reynolds' administration to sign a letter of resignation, turn in his phone and
leave a state job he'd held for two years.
In a statement issued last week, Reynolds said, "As I have consistently shared with Iowans, many factors went into my
decision to ask for Jerry Foxhoven's resignation. Foxhoven never raised concerns with me or my staff about the salary
agreements in question, and he never asked my staff for a legal opinion or said he would be reaching out to the Attorney
General's Office for one.
"I would never ask anyone to do something they thought was illegal. My focus remains on the many Iowans that DHS
serves, and I am committed to selecting a new director who will take this agency to the next level," the governor added.
During Monday's appellate court interviews, Duff told the commission he would bring a sense of fairness to the
appellate court and believed he could draw on his experience as a statewide plaintiff and defense attorney who also
Page 7

2019
worked as mediator and arbitrator, and handled complicated areas of the law dealing with medical negligence, personal
injury, product liability, civil rights and employment discrimination cases.
Asked during his commission interview if there was an area where Duff was concerned the public is losing confidence
in the court system, he replied "I do have a belief that, particularly at the national level, that the court system is
becoming politicized and unfortunately I see that creeping into our system, the Iowa system, which I think for years has
had a reputation of being not a political system. I'm afraid that that's been creeping into our system and I think that
undermines people's confidence in the court."
Sioux City attorney Joel Vos said he viewed the Iowa Court of Appeals as "the work horse court in terms of cases."
The list of applicants seeking to fill the vacancy created by Vogel's retirement included one assistant U.S. attorney,
three assistant Iowa attorneys general, seven state judges and five private attorneys.

SECTION: BANGALORE
LENGTH: 688 words
Judge was kept under suspension, later dismissed after an enquiry A judge who was dismissed from service on
allegations of wrong judicial orders has been reinstated by a division bench of the High Court of Karnataka. "We have
no hesitation that allegations made against the appellant could not have been subject matter of departmental inquiry,"
the bench of Justice L Narayana Swamy and Justice R Devdas said in their judgement on August 2. Judge M
Narasimha Prasad was kept under suspension in 2005 and later dismissed from service after a departmental enquiry.
Complaints against the judge was filed by two advocates about procedural lapses and wrong conclusion and judgement.
The judge had initiated action against the two advocates earlier for contempt of court.
One of them, an assistant public prosecutor had apologised and the other advocate was condemned by the Advocates
Association. This happened when he was a Civil Judge (Junior Division) at Heggadadevanakote from 2001 and 2003.
Based on the complaints that alleged, among other things, passing order of temporary injunction without compliance of
Section 80 of CPC, issuing NBW to witnesses without any reason and properties released to accused in a forest offence
without hearing the prosecution, 11 charges were framed and four enquiries initiated against Prasad. He was found
guilty by the enquiry and dismissed from service. The Governor confirmed the dismissal. A single judge bench of the
HC upheld it in 2012. The judgement of the Division Bench last week put the blame on the Registrar. The judgement
said, "If departmental inquiries are permitted on the topics relating to judicial work as is done in the present case against
a judicial officer, no judicial officer would be able to discharge his duties in a free and fair manner, which oath a judicial
officer takes at the time of entering into the office. The duties of a Judge are so critical and if departmental inquiries are
sought to be initiated every now and then on those aspects, honest and impartial Judges would be targeted by the
disgruntled practitioners, which is not in the best interest of judiciary." The manner in which the inquiry was set up was
also criticised by the court. It said, "Different departmental inquiries are initiated and bout 15 charges are framed,
different prosecution witnesses and number of documents and common inquiry officer to deal with and inquiry officer
virtually prevented the appellant from effectively defending the case." Quashing the dismissal order, the HC said,
"Punishment order dismissing the appellant from service is hereby quashed. All Inquiry reports are quashed. There shall
not be any further enquiry against the appellant. The appellant is to be treated as if he had been in service till the date of
superannuation and pay all consequential monetary benefits with interest."Appointment of registrarsThe Bench
suggested that people with administrative knowledge be appointed as Registrars. "We think it is appropriate to make an
observation that while engaging or appointing judicial officer to work as Registrar, the Hon'ble Chief Justice may
examine the officer to find out his knowledge in administrative matters. Otherwise, these things would repeat and
innocent officers will have to suffer unendingly." JUDGE MADE TO SUFFERThe HC said that the judge was made to
suffer for no mistake of his. It said, "The mistakes of a judicial officer at the initial stage without corrupt motive should
normally be overlooked. Action can be taken against them only if they fail to mend even after warning and guidance.
No memo has been issued, he was not warned and there is no corrupt motive or question touching integrity in the
charges. The appellant was thrown to street by way of suspension and ultimately dismissed from service in 2005. This
has happened by sheer negligence and neglect attitude of Registry of this Court. For the mistake committed by the
respondent, the appellant has lost his valuable life as a judicial officer, his family was made to suffer and children's
education must have been affected." For Reprint Rights: timescontent.com

County Superior Court

Governor Doug Ducey announced the appointment of Krista Carman to the Yavapai County Superior Court. The
vacancy on the Yavapai County Superior Court was created by the retirement of Judge Patricia Trebesch. Under the
Arizona Constitution, judges of the Superior Court in counties with a population of less than 250,000 persons are

insurance coverage, probate, commercial litigation, medical malpractice and victims rights. She also serves as an
appointed arbitrator for the Yavapai County Superior Court and volunteer fee arbitrator for the State Bar of Arizona.

Krista is the Vice President of the Arizona Association for Justice/Arizona Trial Lawyers Association. She has served
on the State Bar of Arizona Civil Jury Instructions Committee and Supreme Court Committee on Civil Justice Reform.
Governor Jan Brewer appointed her to the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments where she served from 2015
to 2018. She has received awards from the Arizona Women Lawyers Association, Yavapai County Bar Association and
Prescott Area Young Professionals.
With a passion for children, Krista is very active in the Yavapai County community. She serves as President of the
Prescott Unified School District Education Foundation. She is on the board of directors for the Community Pregnancy
Center of Prescott. Additionally, she is the regional co-coordinator for the high school mock trial competition.
Kristas depth and breadth of practice, as well as her commitment to serving the community, make her well-equipped to
serve the Yavapai County community, said Governor Ducey. I am pleased to appoint Krista to the Yavapai County
Superior Court. Krista graduated from Northern Arizona University with degrees in Elementary Education and Special
Education. She then graduated from Arizona State University College of Law.

Senate Entering "Difficult Phase" of Judicial Confirmations

BYLINE: Zach C. Cohen
LENGTH: 1559 words
Republicans are running out of judges to confirm. After Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell marched the upper
chamber through vote after vote to confirm President Trumps judicial nominees, lawmakers have now approved 146
judges with lifelong terms to the bench. That's more judges than the number of vacancies that remain on a judiciary
shifting steadily to the right. But the outstanding confirmations will be some of the Senates most complicated,
especially compared to the largely party-line majorities that define the bodys daily schedule. Republicans are rebelling
against Trumps decision to renominate some of President Obamas long-languishing picks, while leadership will attempt
to fill benches in blue states that have gone years with empty seats.
We picked most of the lowest-hanging fruit for judicial nominations, and were starting to get into the more difficult
phase where Senate Democrats are going to attempt to block district-court nominees by withholding their blue slips,
said Mike Davis, president of The Article III Project, which backs Trump judicial nominees. Only four vacancies on
circuit courts remain after Senate Republicans prioritized appeals judges in the first half of Trumps term. That effort has
been historically successful: More of Trumps nominees have made it to the appeals benches than those of his past five
predecessors, according to the conservative Heritage Foundation. But another 97 judicial vacancies rest in district
courts, giving Trump the opportunity to surpass past presidents in installing federal judges. And after Republicans voted
in April to change the chambers rules to shorten debate on lower-court nominees, the Senate will continue to confirm
those picks at record speed. We will leave no vacancy behind, McConnell promised Fox News viewers last month. We
will keep confirming these young men and women to both circuit courts and district courts until the end of next year, for
sure. Trump hasnt said who he plans to nominate for two spots in New York and Connecticut that opened on the 2nd
Circuit earlier this year. Getting those picks confirmed before the end of his first term would mean the majority of the
courts judges would be named by Republican presidents. Flipping these circuits has consequences for the American
people, to the extent they are controlled by folks we called narrow-minded elitists who see the law and the Constitution
as there for the powerful and the privileged and not all of us, said Marge Baker, executive vice president at the
progressive nonprofit People for the American Way. The White House also has yet to nominate a replacement for 9th
Circuit Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain after it withdrew attorney Ryan Boundss bid last year amid scrutiny of past
writings about race. The fourth vacancy, to which Trump in June nominated Halil Suleyman Ozerden to replace appeals
judge E. Grady Jolly on the 5th Circuit, is far from assured. A third of current senators voted to confirm him to a district
judgeship in Mississippi in 2007. But newer Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee question his
conservative credentials, echoing unease from outside groups such as the First Liberty Institute and the Judicial Crisis
Network. Looking at your record, as you know, Ive got significant concerns, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz told Ozerden at
his confirmation hearing last month. Because I dont see any positive, substantive evidence of a judicial record that
[satisfies the fact that] frankly we need strong constitutionalists on the 5th Circuit. The Senate powered through 15
nominees for lifetime judicial positions the week before it left for the August state-work period. But six judicial
nominees on which McConnell filed cloture last month didnt pass out of the chamber before senators jetted home for
the summer recess. Those judicial nominees wont face much resistance come confirmation. Stephanie Haines of
Pennsylvania, Ada Brown of Texas, Steven Grimberg of Georgia, and Steven Seeger of Illinois on procedural votes last
week all got more than 70 votes, more than enough to break Democrats filibuster. I suspect what youre going to see
when they get back, is theyll start confirming all the red-state nominees and get around to the blue-state nominees when
they get around to it, said Russell Wheeler, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institutions Governance Studies Program.
Because you want to make Republican senators happy before you want to make Democratic senators happy. Most of the
vacancies are on courts in New York and California, both populous states represented by two Democratic senators that

either occupy leadership positions in the Senate or are seeking the presidential nomination to challenge Trump next
year. While Republicans have confirmed circuit court judges without the consent of home-state senators, Democrats can
and do effectively veto nominations for district courts in their states by holding onto their blue slips. The question [that]
will be put to Democratic home-state senators is, how cooperative are they in filling these district court vacancies? said
Chris Kang, chief counsel at liberal group Demand Justice. ... Will they hold out the way that Republicans did when
President Obama tried to fill vacancies in states that had Republican home-state senators? Sens. Dianne Feinstein, the
top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, and Kamala Harris, like Feinstein a major 2020 candidate, have successfully
prevented the consideration of the four California district-court nominations. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who is running for president with a record of opposition to Trumps nominees, have also
worked to block New York nominees, according to a source familiar with negotiations. Talks between Schumer and
White House counsel Don McGahns offices early on in Trumps tenure yielded approval for seven New York nominees.
Republicans put forward Eric Komitee, Rachel Kovner, Mary Vyskocil, and John Sinatra, while Democrats backed
Diane Gujarati and Gary Brown, two renominated Obama picks for the Eastern District of New York, and Lewis Liman
for New Yorks southern district. But Gillibrand and Schumer initially withheld their blue slips for Trumps four
nominees until just days before their confirmation hearing, which took place a year ago. Schumer and Gillibrand then
broke from tradition and did not introduce all of the New York nominees to the Judiciary Committee. Gillibrand briefly
appeared to only present Gujarati, the sole candidate at the hearing to be previously nominated by Obama. Schumer
introduced Brown at his hearing in 2015. (The magistrate judge didn't need to return before lawmakers for his
renomination.) The Judiciary Committee parked the seven New York nominees until passing them out of committee in
June with bipartisan support. Trumps picks for two other New York vacancies, Thomas Marcelle and Philip Halpern,
have yet to appear before the panel. Schumer told National Journal on Wednesday that he wants to see the committee-
approved nominees confirmed, with the exception of the Republican ones. Gillibrand on Thursday declined to respond
to a question on nominees for courts in the Empire State, and her office did not return requests for comment. Securing
the support of Senate Democrats for Obama-approved judges in left-leaning states cost the support of Republicans. Two
potential federal judges McConnell attempted to push through last week, Rhode Island Public Defender Mary McElroy
and Magistrate Judge Stephanie Gallagher of Maryland, faced Republican objections in committee. Seven Republicans
on the Judiciary Committee earlier this year also opposed Liman, Trumps choice for the New York City-based court, as
well as Robert Colville, a renominated Obama pick for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Senate Republicans
questioned Colvilles views on abortion rights and Supreme Court precedents governing them, dating back his
Democratic campaign to sit on the Pennsylvania Superior Court. Generally speaking, I support most of the nominees,
even when I think that on the bench theyre gonna probably not be of the mold that I would prefer on the bench, said
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, who presided over Colvilles judicial confirmation hearing in 2015. But when you see
some suggestions that they have deeply-rooted beliefs, thats where the trigger [to oppose] comes with me. Republicans
last year also pressed Liman on his past writings. Then-Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley pointed to a journal article
in which Liman praised Justice John Paul Stevens sense of humanity in deciding cases. A spokesperson for Sen. Joni
Ernst said Limans views on Constitutional interpretation raised concerns that he would support abortion rights. I just
didnt believe he could be impartial, said Republican Sen. John Kennedy. I spent a lot of time studying his resume and
looking at the background and listening to his testimony. He may turn out to be Oliver Wendell Holmes, but that was
my assessment at the time. But both Colville and Liman secured Democratic support in committee, likely ensuring their
confirmation over nominal objections from the most progressive and conservative senators. I think theyll be fine,
Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham told National Journal. I think ... there will be enough votes on the floor.

TRUMP, on his record of filling federal judicial appointments: "There's only one person ... who percentage-wise has
done better than me with judges." -- Cincinnati rally Thursday.
THE FACTS: No, at least four have done better.
Trump is properly ceding first place to George Washington, who had a judiciary entirely made up of his choices simply
because he was the first president. But he's not acknowledging that at least three modern presidents had a better record
than Trump of getting their judicial choices on the courts. Russell Wheeler, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution
and former deputy director of the Federal Judicial Center, has been keeping track.
He found that Trump's confirmed judges make up 17% of total federal judgeships. At this point in their presidencies,
John Kennedy had filled 30% of the federal judiciary, Bill Clinton had filled 20% and Nixon had filled 25%.

Last week, former Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Chris Bragg retired following 25 years of service. In North
Carolina, the governor appoints superior court judges, and Roy Cooper has appointed Judge Nathan Hunt Gwyn Jr.,
as Bragg's replacement.
"Judge Gwyn is a valuable member of his community and I am grateful he will continue to serve on the bench in this
new role," Cooper said in a statement.
"I am very grateful to Governor Cooper for the trust and confidence he has placed in me with his appointment of me as
the next Resident Superior Court Judge for Union County," Gwynn wrote in an email to The Enquirer-Journal. "I also
want to thank Judge Bragg, his wife, Cathy, and his family for all his years of service and hard work as both a District
Court Judge and a Superior Court Judge. He has done an outstanding job, and I wish him well.
"For me, personally and professionally, it is an honor to have served here in Union County since 1987 as either a
Prosecutor, District Court Judge, or Chief District Court Judge, and I am thrilled by the challenge this new opportunity
represents for me, my wife Jana, and our family."
From THE FRONT PAGE
I want to thank everyone for all their support of me all these years, and look forward to many more years of service."
Gwyn has served as Chief District Court Judge since 2011. Gwyn was previously the chief district court judge for
district 20B. He was appointed to the court by former Governor Jim Hunt in 2000.
According to the Governor's office, Gwyn previously worked with the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council and as an
advisory board member with the Union County Criminal Justice Partnership Program; he has also served on the Board
of Governors for the N.C. Association of District Court Judges and as a presiding judge for the Union County DWI
Treatment Court.
Gwyn received his B.A. in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1980 and his J.D.
from the North Carolina Central University School of Law in 1987, according to Ballotpedia.
Judge Gwyn's swearing in will be on Aug. 29 at 2 p.m. at the Union County Courthouse with a reception to follow. The
public is invited.

Kent Municipal Court Judge Phillips says it's 'time to step down' Kent Reporter (Washington) August 5, 2019

Kent Municipal Court Judge Phillips says it's 'time to step down'

After 25 years with the Kent Municipal Court, Judge Glenn Phillips has decided it's, "time to step down."
Phillips will retire later this year after Mayor Dana Ralph appoints a replacement. Michael Frans is the other Kent
Municipal Court judge. The court handles criminal misdemeanors such as petty theft, simple assault, prostitution and
other similar cases.
"I just turned 65 and, while there is no mandatory retirement age for Municipal Court judges, I feel it is time to step
down," Phillips said in an email.
City voters re-elected Phillips in 2017 when he ran unopposed. He will retire with two years left on his term.
"This will allow the city to appoint a replacement they feel will best serve the court and the residents of Kent," Phillips
said about leaving prior to his term expiring. "Voters will then have the opportunity to evaluate the performance of my
replacement at the next election."
Ralph will appoint a judge later this year to the vacant position to serve through Dec. 31, 2021. To retain the seat, the
judge must run for election in November 2021. Ralph picked Frans, a defense attorney, last year to fill the seat vacated
when Judge Karli Jorgensen retired. Jorgensen ran unopposed for the seat in 2017 and 2013 after then-Mayor Suzette
Cooke appointed her in December 2011 to replace Robert McSeveney.
Phillips has been a municipal judge since 2002. He joined the court in 1994 as a court commissioner, the same year
Kent started a Municipal Court. The city previously contracted with King County to handle misdemeanors. Phillips has
seen a lot of changes over the years.
"Biggest is the ongoing advancements in technology - and there have been too many of those to list," he said.
"Additionally, the city has exploded in size - at the time the court started in 1994 the population was a little over 62,000
and now it is approaching 130,000."
Phillips graduated from the University of Evansville, Indiana in 1976 with a bachelor of science in law enforcement. In
1981, after completing service in the U.S. Air Force, he graduated with honors from Gonzaga University School of Law
in Spokane.
The judge made it clear what he will miss most about the job.
"Definitely the staff," he said. "We have an amazing group of dedicated employees."
Phillips looks forward to retirement, but also plans to return to court for part-time work.
"Work at taking care of myself, play music, read and start downsizing the various 'stuff' I have accumulated over the
years," Phillips said. "I will also be contacting some of the Municipal Courts in King and Snohomish counties to be
added to their judge pro-tem lists - including the city of Kent."
A judge pro tem fills in during the absence of elected or appointed judges.
Phillips will cherish his years in Kent.

"It has been my honor and privilege to serve the city, court and the residents of Kent," he said. "I can't think of a better
place to have spent my judicial career."
City seeks applicants
Candidates to replace Phillips are not required to live in Kent, but they must reside in King County. State law requires
candidates to be U.S. citizens and licensed to practice law in Washington. Those who qualify can apply online at
jobs.kentwa.gov/jobs by Aug. 23 and should submit a cover letter, résumé, uniform judicial evaluation questionnaire
and a King County Bar supplemental questionnaire. The position pays $172,753 per year.

Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse kicks off re-election campaign

OMAHA, Neb. - U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska kicked off his re-election campaign Monday surrounded by top
Republicans who vouched for the first-term lawmaker, despite a primary challenge from an activist who is attacking
Sasse's frequent criticism of President Donald Trump.
Sasse promised in his 2020 campaign announcement to work to minimize the role of Washington in Nebraska residents'
lives and support Trump's "really great judicial nominees." He made no other mention of the president.
"The most important things that happen in life aren't about government, but when we're talking about government,
there's no one more conservative than I am," Sasse said to a crowd of about 300 in a sweltering airport hangar.
Sasse scored endorsements Monday from Gov. Pete Ricketts, former Govs. Dave Heineman and Kay Orr, U.S. Reps.
Jeff Fortenberry and Don Bacon, and Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert. Several of them praised Sasse as a hardworking,
intelligent public servant known for his integrity.
"We need his conservative voice in Washington," Heineman said, pointing to Sasse's support of conservative U.S.
Supreme Court nominees Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
The event follows news last week that Sasse will face a primary challenge from Matt Innis, a Lincoln-based GOP
activist and former chairman of the Lancaster County Republican Party. Innis, a Trump supporter, announced his
candidacy last week and blasted Sasse for making statements critical of the president.
Sasse, 47, gained national attention earlier in his term as a leading Trump opponent within his party, although he has
been more subdued recently. During the 2016 presidential race, Sasse said then-candidate Trump lacked core principles
and described him as a "megalomaniac strongman." He skipped the party's nominating convention and described the
race between Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton as a "dumpster fire." He also floated the idea of leaving the
Republican Party. Last year, he criticized Trump's proposed steel tariffs as "dumb."
His remarks didn't go over well with some Nebraska Republican activists, who confronted him in local meetings in the
GOP-dominated state. Trump won Nebraska with nearly 59% of the vote in 2016. Sasse responded that he was voicing
his opinion and wasn't trying to pressure others over which candidate to support.
Sasse has pushed back against the criticism, with a spokesman noting that he's regarded as one of the most conservative
Republicans in the Senate, has supported Trump's nominees to the court and has fought against tougher federal
environmental regulations that were opposed by Nebraska farmers. Sasse champions himself as an outspoken opponent
of abortion.
Innis, a 48-year-old business owner, praised Trump's policies and court appointments during his announcement and
sought to contrast himself with Sasse.
"We need a senator who will support President Trump's re-election in 2020," Innis said.

Sasse, a former college president who holds degrees from Harvard and Yale, has argued that Trump isn't a true
conservative. In a book published last year, Sasse called for a return to civility in public discourse and argued that
politics shouldn't be a central part of life.
Some of Sasse's supporters argue that many of the state's Republicans agree with Sasse and support his credentials as a
reliable conservative. In a state like Nebraska, the danger in a primary is to be portrayed as not conservative enough,
and that's a tough argument to make against Sasse who was elected with 64% of the vote in 2014.
