The Good Guy

TJ Cox

An engineer and entrepreneur, TJ Cox was the 40th and final seat-flipper of the 2018 Blue Wave. And, like all our freshman, he’s been delivering for his district ever since, procuring needed funding for infrastructure and local farms, plus millions to research PTSD in our troops, and oh yeah, he led on the Great American Outdoors Act as well. A doer, and thus, a keeper.

David Valadao

David Valadao got fired last time ‘round over his sinister attempt to steal health care from thousands of his constituents, and now he wants his old job back…during a pandemic. Since leaving Congress, Dave’s been spending his time walking out on lawsuit settlements over unpaid wages, and defaulting on loans. Look, I know failed businessmen are “in” in GOP circles these days, but California deserves better than a lightly-refurbished Trump stooge.

Candace Valenzuela

Candace Valenzuela overcame childhood homelessness to become the first member of her family to graduate college, going on to fight for her community on her local school board. She understands the needs of working Texans from lived experience, while her opponent wallows in the right-wing fever swamps. Valenzuela knows what America needs in 2020 is less Donald Trump and more John Lewis.

Beth Van Duyne

Celebrity hate-monger Beth Van Duyne rocketed to wingnut superstardom when, as Mayor of Irving, Texas, she said a bunch of hellaciously racist shit to Glenn Beck following the Ahmed Mohamed clock incident, and she’s been vomiting up insane, hateful lies about “Sharia law” ever since. That’s pretty much the whole argument here, “Look how much I hate Muslims, please send me to Congress to hurt them.” Shitty person, shitty mayor…she’d be a super-shitty Congresswoman.

Max Rose

Max Rose earned the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart serving his country in Iraq and Afghanistan before serving New York at Brightpoint Health and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office. In his freshman term, not only has he delivered concrete results on opioids and the East Shore seawall, he even deployed with the National Guard to aid in the coronavirus fight. This’ll be one of the closest races in the House, but Max is worth keepin’ around.

Nicole Malliotakis

If you like flip-flopping hacks with absolutely no core beliefs who’ll say anything to get elected, you’re going to LOVE Nicole Malliotakis. Yes, this is the same Malliotakis that ran for Mayor of NYC, though her current platform is unrecognizable, on issues ranging from Trump to voting by mail. Oh, and allies of her campaign doctored a photograph to make it look like she was donating supplies to coronavirus first responders, when she actually…didn’t do that. And this one of the GOP’s better recruits, YIKES.

The Good Gal

Christina Hale

Christina Hale has a seat waiting for her in the Get Shit Done Caucus; she got more than 60 bills passed in the Indiana state legislature, all with bipartisan support. And despite her tremendous success, she’s never forgotten her experiences as a young single mom, struggling to provide health insurance for her son, which is probably why she’s been such a reliable fighter for working people.

Victoria Spartz

Victoria Spartz was probably the shittiest candidate in a crowded primary to succeed retiring Susan Brooks, and her shittiness puts the seat in play, huzzah! Victoria is hoping that screaming Socialism Socialism Socialism will distract Indiana voters from her shady self-dealing and lunatic wingnut platform. The good news is, this Club for Growth stooge can’t seem to raise money, and this is one of those suburban districts we’ve been picking off, so I like our chances here.

Joe Cunningham

Joe Cunningham became the 1st Democrat to flip a House seat in South Carolina since 1986, but the GOP will spend heavily to win this one back. It won’t be easy, since Cunningham has absolutely delivered the bipartisan solutions he promised, including getting a ban on offshore drilling through the House. Joe’s not afraid to call out bullshit, with an air horn when necessary. In short, he’s a solid Blue Dog Dem, and we’re lucky to have him in this seat.

Nancy Mace

Nancy Mace is a onetime Tea Party gadfly candidate who skipped to the front of the line when the gadflies took over. Mace worked for Trump in 2016, so she didn’t even have to sell out to join the treasonous modern GOP. She owned and operated this shitty little political gossip site where she published all this petty tripe, so OF COURSE Republicans are running her for the U.S. Congress. All the usual terrible Republican ideas are there, of course, especially on health care. It’s time for an all-Joe ticket in SC-1.
