Hey John,
Before Kevin McCarthy was making deals with insurrectionists to become the worst House speaker in U.S. history, he won a community college trustee race in 2000.
Before he was obstructing votes in the House, Matt Gaetz won a race for Florida House representative in 2010.
And before Jim Jordan was defending insurrectionists and trying to overturn elections, he won a seat in the Ohio state House in 1998.
Right now, the next generation of far-right, insurrectionist, anti-democracy baddies are putting their names on ballots in state and local races across the country. The good news:
We have the power to stop them before they start.
