I’m hoping McCarthy’s ouster is good news for candidates like Joe Kent in Washington’s 3rd district.
McCarthy backed Jaime Herrera Beutler (RINO) in 2022. Kent won the primary but had to spend a lot of money to do it. A Democrat won the general election.
I’m so glad McCarthy is gone.
For those to whom this list of names means nothing, or who ignorantly think “If McCarthy endorsed them then I already know all I need to” about them:
Barrett, Riedel & Harrell are conservatives; Baugh has been one in the past too, and came close to ousting a liberal Democrat last November.
Flores won the historic special election in TX-34 in June of 2022 and then lost in November before being able to compile any meaningful legislative record, so we don’t know about her. Harrell is also a former member of Congress who lost due to Democrat gerrymandering in 2022.
In NV-03, the comment in the article from Elizabeth Helgelien lacks any substance (or anything about her opponent at all) but Kasama IS in fact a McCarthy-esque squish and should definitely be avoided.
