Did you see this disturbing headline out of Pennsylvania?
The brave first responders who defended our capitol on January 6th are American heroes. But extreme elected Republicans have tunnel vision and are only focused on keeping control and singing the MAGA gospel of election denial. This story is a reminder of the GOP radicalism we’re up against in state legislatures. And it fuels us to work even harder to elect Democratic state legislators who stand up for free and fair elections. Because if we don’t, more MAGA extremists will be elected and put democracy at risk.
Now, the booing was horrifying, but not a total shock. A recent report from States United Action identified over 200 election deniers serving in the legislatures of seven battleground states — including nearly 1 in 3 members of the Pennsylvania House! (YUP, you read that right… NEARLY 1 IN 3!) The MAGA extremists who want to unravel our democracy know that if they’re going to be successful, they need Trump loyalists at every level of government. And they think they can catch us flat-footed and Democrats will forget about state legislative seats. But you’re not the type of Democrat who’s going to let that happen, and neither are we. Thank you, NDRC HQ
