Incumbent Republican Dusty Johnson was re-elected with 81.0% of the vote in 2020.[1] Johnson defeated state representative Taffy Howard in the Republican primary. No Democratic candidate appeared on the ballot, Johnson's only general election opponent was Libertarian Collin Duprel.[2]

Though Johnson won comfortably in a 55-point win, mainly due to competing against a candidate of a minor party, Durpel made a bit of a stronger performance than some had expected, with over 22% of the vote. Johnson himself received over 77% of the vote. It was the best performance by a Libertarian candidate in the state's history.
