| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | [[AA Alvera]], [[Valeria Smith]] and [[Joseph Salazar-Portela]] appeared at the event to address the straw poll participants. None of the front runners attended, reducing the credibility of the event. Senator Salazar-Portela was considered to have made the best speech of the day, but was unable to convert that into support.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Soon after the straw poll was held, runner up [[Terry Hughes]] withdrew from the race and resigned from the Senate.
