BREITBART: Path to GOP House Majority Could Go Through Republican Women
“In the last election, Republican women were among some of the most anticipated candidates to watch across the nation. Most notably, of the 14 Republican wins over the Democrats on election night, 11 of them were women. That grew the number of Republican women in the House to 31, the highest it’s ever been. The previous Congress had only 13 Republican women.”

GOP Women Denounce Sexist News Coverage, Rally Behind Elise Stefanik
Late last week, a local news station WCAX thought it was appropriate for two male “journalists / analysts” to question whether Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, a soon-to-be new mother, will be able to effectively serve in elected office.
Outrageously sexist quotes included:
“as someone who wants to be scarce after having a child and also in the short run up before”
“someone who is not up to full-time engagement on the floor of the House or the office buildings and committee meetings do their job”
“While she’s not at full energy at her job.”
“Her physical absence on Capitol Hill.”
Republican women were quick to denounce the coverage and speak out in support of Elise, which helped push WCAX to apologize three days later. Elise thanked everyone for their outpouring of support.

Vulnerable House Democrats Either Retire or Run For a Different Office
This past week, two vulnerable Democrats, Conor Lamb (PA-17) and Ron Kind (WI-03), joined the long list of Democrats who are either retiring or running for a different office instead of running for reelection in their competitive districts. Democrats are afraid to defend their radical Defund the Police agenda, the Job and Economic Crisis, and Biden’s Border Crisis.
The road to gaining back the Republican House majority is looking clearer by the day. As a record 150+ GOP women have already stepped up to run for Congress, it’s also clear that GOP women will be the first ones through the breach to retire Nancy Pelosi!
