Our Unrepresentatives campaign is based on a simple premise: There are 18
House Republicans serving in districts that Biden won in 2020. These
Republicans are extraordinarily vulnerable because most of them got
elected pretending to be moderates, but once they got to Congress they
immediately started siding with MAGA extremists like Marjorie Taylor
Greene.

But unlike MTG, these 18 Reps aren’t in the news every day. They want to
fly under the radar, because they don’t want their constituents knowing
they’re capitulating to far-right donors instead of doing what’s good for
working families in their districts.

To defeat them, we need to expose their MAGA complicity and make them
famous for their extremism. That’s why we’re kicking off a new series
putting the spotlight on each of the Unrepresentative 18, starting with
Representative Michelle Steel.

Steel cosponsored a national abortion ban, voted against the January 6th
commission, voted to slash funding for Medicaid, schools, and veterans,
and Steel votes with Marjorie Taylor Greene 88% of the time.

From voting to cut Medicaid, funding for schools, and veterans
benefits^1 to opposing the creation of the January 6th commission,^2 Steel
has consistently sided with MAGA Republicans and her corporate donors over
the interests of her constituents. 

Just last year, voters in CA-45 supported a ballot measure enshrining
abortion rights in California’s state constitution. In direct contrast,
Steel cosponsored a bill that would ban abortion nationwide -- even
overriding state-level protections like the ones her own constituents
voted for.^3

Steel is equally out of touch when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights. In a meeting
with Tea Party Republicans in her district, she was caught on video saying
she withdrew her daughter from college after learning she supports
marriage equality, implying that her daughter was brainwashed.^4

But Steel’s extremism makes her vulnerable. Democrats outnumber
Republicans in CA-45 and Joe Biden won her district by a wide margin in
2020.^5 We have a real chance of flipping this seat but it’s going to take
a massive accountability and outreach campaign to show voters in CA-45
just how extreme their Unrepresentative is. [ [link removed] ]That means demonstrations,
ads, billboards, radio spots, and even flyovers -- and we’re counting on
grassroots donors to help fund it, so please click here to pitch in to
hold Steel accountable for her extremism and defeat her in 2024.

margin of victory in 2020 and Steel's 4.82% margin of victory in 2022.

Most of Steel’s constituents don’t know her voting record or the
statements she makes behind closed doors. It’s up to us to hold her
accountable, and Indivisibles in her district are already getting to work.
If you’re in CA-45 and are looking for more ways to get involved in this
fight, [ [link removed] ]click here to find Indivisible groups in your district. 

If you’re not in the district but are committed to winning back our
trifecta, codifying Roe, and passing democracy reform -- [ [link removed] ]pitch in today
so that our groups have everything they need to hold Unrepresentatives
like Michelle Steel accountable and flip the House in 2024.
