Michigan is in the news again, but for all the wrong reasons. Mother Jones just released a national report exposing Michigan's radical state Republicans who, once at the fringe, are now leading their state party and the Legislature.
Read this headline, friend. Then commit to helping us defeat the most extreme Republicans in Lansing by chipping in $10 or whatever you can today.
The Most Radical Republicans Aren't in Congress. They're in the Statehouses.

Let's not forgot: Top Republican, State Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, got exclusive access to meet with Trump to talk about overturning the election. When that didn't work, he claimed the January 6th insurrection was a "hoax."
It's not just Shirkey, either. The new Co-Chair of the Michigan GOP, Meshawn Maddock -- who's husband is a sitting State Representative -- coordinated a dozen buses to take insurrectionists to the U.S. Capitol. While she denied participating in the mob, her social media accounts tell another story of embracing conspiracy theories and spreading misinformation.
Shirkey and Maddock knew their fellow Republicans would do nothing to punish them -- and so far, their beliefs turned out to be accurate. But you can help hold them accountable by chipping in $10 or more today to remove radical state Republicans from office in 2022.

It's clear the GOP is radicalizing -- and they're willing to punish anyone who doesn't stand in lock-step with the Trump agenda.
Too few state GOP lawmakers have faced consequences for helping Trump incite his mob. If anything, they've been egged on by conspiracy theory groups like QAnon, which have taken root in local Republican politics.
The only way to stop these radical Republicans from gaining power is by flipping the State Legislature in 2022. Rush $10 or more to help us make it happen.
