John, 

After three chaotic and embarrassing weeks for the Republican Party, Rep. Mike Johnson (LA-04) was elected as the new speaker of the House. He's being painted as a middle-of-the-road workhorse who just wants to see House business get back to normal. That portrayal is dead wrong.

Johnson is an anti-abortion extremist who has repeatedly supported and co-sponsored national abortion ban legislation, celebrated the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and has spent his political career trying to rip away reproductive freedom and throw doctors in jail for providing care. 

We'll have a lot more to say about Rep. Johnson and his dangerous views soon — did you know he co-hosts a podcast where he called for a federal law BANNING ALL ABORTION? — but right now, the most important thing we can tell you is this:

EMILYs List has just officially put Speaker Mike Johnson On Notice. That means we're hard at work this cycle to flip House seats and take back the gavel from MAGA Mike and his extremist Chaos Caucus. Can you support this work with a donation today?

Thanks,

the EMILYs List team
