NewDem Gerry Connolly here. I've spent the past 14 years fighting GOP extremism in the House. But now, it's worse than ever.
Kevin McCarthy has spent every day since the election trying to buy off the most extreme members of his caucus in a desperate attempt to win 218 votes for Speaker.
They're demanding veto power over any bill coming to the House, and pledges to shut down the government and default on the national debt if they don't get what they want. They want to be able to defund the FBI and launch show trials based on conspiracy theories. And they want to make sure the next Congress has MORE extremists, not fewer.
No matter who the next Speaker is, it's clear that Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert will be running the House for the next two years. My NewDem colleagues and I are ready to fight their extremism, but we need to know you have our backs.
The Republican majority is very, very narrow and the fight to win back our majority in 2024 has already begun. Can you chip in a contribution to be split between me and NewDems to help defend seats like mine and prepare to recruit more Democrats who can help us take back the House in 2024?

Seeing what has transpired over the past two days, it is critical that we know our team will be with us in the fight to retake the majority.
Yours in Service,
Rep. Gerry Connolly (VA-11)
