John,

 

We’re writing to you with deeply troubling news: the Republican caucus has just elected extreme MAGA-Republican, Mike Johnson to be Speaker of the House.

 

 

That name might not set off any alarm bells, so let us tell you a little bit about his record:

 

1. Mike Johnson was “the most important architect” of the House Republican attempt to steal the 2020 election for Donald Trump. He worked behind the scenes to throw out the legitimate results of the Electoral College and overrule the choice of the American people.

 

2. Mike Johnson has voted to ban abortion nationwide, including co-sponsoring a 20-week national abortion ban.

 

3. Mike Johnson authored a “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which would ban schools that receive federal funding from discussing “LGBT topics” with children under age 10. He is also opposed to federal recognition and protections for same-sex marriage.

 

 

The MAGA-Republican caucus and Donald Trump know that they will get everything they want out of a Mike Johnson speakership, which is why we must take back the U.S. House next November, and make sure that we keep Donald Trump far away from the Oval Office.

 

The selection of an anti-gay, election-denying, abortion extremist as Speaker is further proof that Republicans have no concern for the will of everyday Americans, respect for the rule of law, or sense of responsibility that our elected leaders must have. 

 

Instead of ending the chaos in Washington D.C., Republicans have chosen to endorse it.

 

We have to put an end to the chaos by winning back the House and returning Democratic leadership to Washington D.C. That means working right here in Maine to keep our two congressional seats blue and deliver all four Electoral College votes to put a Democrat back in the White House.

 

We need leaders who will respect the rule of law instead of using tricks to try to overturn elections and will focus on delivering for Maine people instead of fulfilling promises to a corrupt ex-President.

 

Let’s work together to make it happen.
