Elections often have consequences, something Pennsylvania State Representative Mike Jones (R-York) is experiencing after the May 17 primary.
Jones defied the Republican establishment by endorsing two Republican challengers who ultimately defeated longtime incumbents Stan Saylor and Keith Gillespie in the primary.
Jones endorsed competitors Joseph D’Orsie and Wendy Fink at York’s Round the Clock Diner a week before the May primary. “When York Couty needed them the most, Stan Saylor and Keith Gillespie were sitting at home,” Jones said at the time by claiming Saylor and Gillespie didn’t stand up to COVID-19 rules and shutdowns.
“They’re my friends. I tried to warn them, they didn’t listen. It’s time for them to go,” Jones said going into the primary.
Wendy Fink defeated Saylor, a 28-year incumbent and the third most powerful Republican in the House, in the 94th District by 11%.
In the 47th District, Joseph D’Orsie defeated Gillespie, a 20-year veteran of the House, by 19%.
Following last Tuesday’s election, Jones was removed from three of the four committees he sat on and his seat on the House floor was moved away from his southcentral colleagues.
“I take no pleasure in my colleagues losing,” said Jones. “Actions have consequences, I’m a grown man.”

They ARE NOT to be replaced by a different representative from the SAME party. And ANYBODY that helps an incumbent get defeated is to be punished!
This is their view of representative government.
Just gotta love that GOP
They REALLY care about what the people want!
Meanwhile McConnell’s slime machine is running wide open against a sitting Republican House member trying to make a jump to the Senate.
Pennsylvania is awash with Assistant Democrats.
I am proud of my state representative for what he did endorsing some real change in Harrisburg but the Uniparty Establishment isn’t going away with a whimper.
They protect what I refer to as professional politicians, and fight tooth and nail against all other.
The professional political class is aristocratic, globalist-indoctrinated, pathologically subservient to the kabuki referred to as “rule” of law, and interested almost entirely in self-promotion and government promotion.
The RINO’s in Georgia did the same thing. They stripped the committee chairmanships of Conservative Republicans.
Brandon Beach is an example.
And people down there want to believe the likes of Brian Kemp are “Conservatives”.
Legislators trade favors for contributions. If the legislator is no longer in office, he can’t deliver on favors already paid for.
Corruption REQUIRES stability of the corrupt.
The biggest thing reformers could do is get rid of incumbents in “safe” seats every primary. And get rid of civil service protections for people in the bureaucracy, so we can trim the Deep State.

Mike is my Assemblyman.
He retired from managing a successful moderate-sized business; definitely NOT a career politician.
Literally free to speak his mind!
I’ve never met Mike since I just moved into the district a year ago but he seems like the real deal.
Lifelong Pennsylvania resident, and have to admit the Pa GOP have to be the most worthless pieces of shit there is!!!!
They f up a one car parade!!! They’re 🤡🤡🤡🤡
If the demoRats weren’t even more awful, they’d never stand a chance !
I guess you folks in PA ought to become precinct committeemen and join the fight.

Time for Romanian term limits. Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were unavailable for comment.
And you should be!
In fact, this gentleman has earned the respect of me and deserves to have every conservative donate money to his campaign!
When Mastriano started the election audits because the glitterati refused to do anything, Corman fired Mastriano’s entire staff and closed his email accounts. nuf said.
The only good news is that Doug Mastriano won the Primary.
I had lunch with Jones at a gathering a few years ago. I got a great vibe off him then. I guess I was right.
He got rid of a couple of GOPee to get those demerits. A worthy sacrifice!
