Hi John, it's Elizabeth Warren

On Wednesday, House Republicans elected anti-abortion extremist Mike Johnson as their new speaker. Across the country, people were looking at the headlines and asking one question: "Wait — who's Mike Johnson?" So I wanted to reach out and share a few things about his extreme record. 

• He didn't just vote against certifying the 2020 presidential election results — he helped lead the charge. The New York Times called him "the most important architect of the Electoral College objections."
• Donald Trump says he'll be a "fantastic" speaker (see the point above).
• He voted against establishing the bipartisan Jan. 6 commission.
• He introduced a national "Don't Say Gay" bill to block federally funded institutions — including public schools — from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity with students under 10 years old.
• And finally, he's a staunch anti-abortion extremist who's supported nationwide bans. After Roe v. Wade fell, he tweeted this message for abortion providers in Louisiana: "Perform an abortion and get imprisoned at hard labor for 1-10 yrs & fined $10K-$100K." Check it out:

 

It's clear: MAGA Republicans have rallied around Mike Johnson because he is a threat to our democracy and a threat to our freedom. 

I'm fighting to stop their dangerous agenda, protect our fundamental freedoms, and pass policies that put our government on the side of families — and I'm proud to do this work alongside EMILYs List candidates in Congress. That means passing national abortion protections. That means strengthening our democracy and protecting voting rights. That means defending LGBTQ+ rights. 

But if Republicans gain any more power, and they're fighting for it, there will be nothing stopping them from passing their extremist agenda and enshrining MAGA politics into law.

, John believe me, it has never been more important to protect our Senate majority, flip the House, and elect pro-choice champions everywhere. So, I'm asking personally: Can you split a donation between my campaign and EMILYs List to push back against right-wing extremism?
