2018 election

Facing a rematch with Craig in the 2018 midterms, Rep. Lewis was defeated in his re-election bid by just under 6% of the vote.

Lewis announced in late August 2019 his run for U.S. Senate to challenge Democrat Tina Smith. Despite running a very strong campaign in the blue state along with President Trump in hopes of carrying it, he lost the general election to Smith by six points.

Political views

A strong conservative, Lewis is pro-life, fiscally conservative, and an ardent opponent of the homosexual agenda.
