General Election

Joash's campaign was significantly weakened by the ballot issues his office had faced during his tenure as Secretary of State. His selection of a largely unknown figure in Dixie as Lieutenant Governor also hurt his campaign. Though he was a member of the Global Labour Party, no member of the party actually verified for him to run under their name, so Joash had to run as an Independent.

The campaign was largely seen as a referendum on President Jeb, and Governor Drunk. Though Governor Drunk was popular as an outgoing Governor, many still opposed him and his power in the General Assembly had slowly dwindled over time with the rise of Libertarian-Republican Party. Wonder focused on Joash's errors as Secretary of State and his perceived incompetence, while Joash campaigned on continuing Drunk's policies and attacking Wonder for his past scandals. The two competed in one debate, and Wonder was seen as the winner. Joash's campaign was hurt when he didn't actively campaign anywhere as opposed to Wonder's intense campaigning across the state, which contributed his landslide victory across the state.
