[link removed] [[link removed]]Dear John,

It may be summer, but don’t let the bright sun fool you. Darker forces are still on the move. On Tuesday, Maryland held its primary election, and three of the four radicals we identified in the state won their elections and will move on to the general election in November.

*
Two
are
2020
election
deniers.
*
One
participated
in
the
Jan.
6
Capitol
insurrection.
*
One
is
a
QAnon
supporter.
*
One
is
affiliated
with
a
racist
hate
group.

Here’s some more information about these candidates:

Dan Cox [[link removed]] (Candidate, Governor, Maryland): Cox, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, defeated his Republican opponent, Kelly Schulz, in the race for governor. He organized buses to take protesters to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, called former Vice President Mike Pence a "traitor," and is described by current Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan as a "QAnon conspiracy theorist." Cox’s campaign was aided by Democratic groups [[link removed]] .

Gordana Schifanelli [[link removed]] (Candidate, Lt. Governor, Maryland): Running alongside Cox for lieutenant governor, Schifanelli believes President Biden “stole” the 2020 presidential election, and that Trump is the rightful winner. She is the founder of the Kent Island Patriots, a group that used its platform to force the resignation of a former Queen Anne’s County school superintendent who had called for better dialogue on racism.

Michael Peroutka [[link removed]] (Candidate, Attorney General, Maryland): Peroutka is a neo-Confederate and Christian nationalist who served on the board of the League of the South—which believes the Southern states should secede from the U.S.—from 2012 to 2014. He has described the separation of church and state as the "great lie," and has argued for dismantling public education, which he has denounced as "the 10th plank in the Communist Manifesto."

That’s quite a group. And the next primary day, August 2, looks to be another potential bonanza for radicals. Voters in Arizona, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, and Washington will head to the polls and decide the electoral fates of the likes of Blake Masters [[link removed]] (Candidate, U.S. Senate, Arizona), Kari Lake [[link removed]] (Candidate, Governor, Arizona), Kristina Karamo [[link removed]] (Candidate, Secretary of State, Michigan), Matthew DePerno [[link removed]] (Candidate, Attorney General, Michigan), Eric Greitens [[link removed]] (Candidate, U.S. Senate, Missouri), Eric Schmitt [[link removed]] (Candidate, U.S. Senate, Missouri), Joe Kent [[link removed]] (Candidate, U.S. House, WA-03), Heidi St. John [[link removed]] (Candidate, U.S. House, WA-03), and many others.
