John,
As we continue to watch the chaos, refusal to compromise, and inability by the GOP to elect a speaker, our tax dollars are wasted, the risks to our national security grow, and we are likely headed for a government shutdown.
And now that threats of violence have become the norm in our political discourse some Republicans seem a little surprised. I don't know what is more mind-blowing, the fact that we are where we are right now or that these guys are so shortsighted that they didn't expect the monster they created to turn on them. Threats of violence have no place in a civil society. We cannot normalize violence in our politics and anyone making threats should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
While Mike Lawler initially voted for McCarthy, he later admitted to being "tightlipped" in his support of Jim Jordan and mentioned he would "probably just vote for him." This disposition of Lawler reveals that, despite his attempts to present himself as a moderate on TV, his genuine colors are nothing short of utter extremism.
Will you consider contributing to my campaign today so that we can remove two-faced extremist politicians like Mike Lawler from their seats?
John, it's essential to comprehend the kind of person Jim Jordan is. He's already failed twice at securing the vote for House Speaker, yet Lawler is prepared to vote for him.
Jim Jordan, with a 16-year tenure in Congress, hasn't seen a single bill he sponsored become law. Here are a few decisions that shed light on his representation:
- Jim Jordan opposed the Hurricane Sandy Relief Funds. Hurricane Sandy, the largest Atlantic hurricane on record, claimed 233 lives and inflicted nearly $70 billion in damage. In just 48 hours, it destroyed around 300 homes, left hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers without power, and damaged critical infrastructure, leaving many vulnerable with limited access to necessities like food, water, and healthcare.
- Jim Jordan voted against the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, which Congress established to provide compensation for those affected by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. These attacks claimed nearly 3,000 lives and had immediate, far-reaching consequences.
- Jim Jordan refused to comply with multiple subpoenas that aimed to unveil details concerning the January 6 insurrection.
- Jim Jordan attempted to nullify the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
John, I haven’t even addressed his attempts to criminalize abortion and repeal gay marriage. Even in his own party, he’s been called a “legislative terrorist.” Jordan has no business being anywhere near the Speaker’s gavel.
John, now is the time to push back against the misrepresentation of New York's 17th Congressional District: Mike Lawler. If you stand with me, will you contribute $10 or any other amount that fits your budget to support my efforts in the fight against GOP corruption and the protection of our rights?
With real representation, we can reunite and re-engage our community.
