The Good Gal

Amy Kennedy

Amy Kennedy has a lifetime’s worth of experience in education and mental health advocacy, from New Jersey’s public schools to the boards of Mental Health America and Interaxon, and she’s running hard on health care, campaign finance reform, and all kinds of other good stuff. Plus, she’s not the biggest turncoat in Washington, unlike her opponent.

Jeff Van Drew

Jeff Van Drew is a treasonous little shitweasel who unhesitatingly discarded his every professed belief after one bad internal poll. After riding the 2018 Blue Wave to Washington, Jeff’s refusal to back impeachment angered the very people who elected him, so he simply said “just kidding about everything I’ve ever said to anyone,” and merrily pledged “undying support” to a new Turd Emperor. HOT TAKE: people who believe in nothing except procuring power for themselves shouldn’t be lawmakers.

Kate Schroder

Kate Schroder, a cancer survivor and health care advocate, couldn’t stay on the sidelines while Steve Chabot voted every ten minutes to steal health care coverage from millions. Recently, Kate has been working in Zambia to improve children’s health care; holy crap, does this mean we can actually have decent human beings in government? This certainly seems like an ideal time to have Schroder’s years of experience in both health care and politics in Congress.

Steve Chabot

Steve Chabot is exactly the sort of corrupt, out-of-touch suburban Republican that’s rapidly going extinct, running hard on his failed, dated platform, his anti-choice record, and his anti-health-care-in-general record. Chabot’s hobbies include climate change denial, and calling the cops on his constituents for recording town halls. Steve-O is also a big ol’ impeachment hypocrite, with a giant campaign finance scandal. We actually sent this creep packing once before; let’s make it stick this time.

Kara Eastman

Kara Eastman has two decades of leadership experience in the non-profit sector, the perfect balance to the GOP’s gaggle of wealthy white dudes. Kara founded Omaha Healthy Kids Alliance, in addition to work with Friendship Shelter, Rainbow House, and other NFPs; wouldn’t it be great if Congress had a few more resumés like that? One of our most progressive candidates, she’s now running with more institutional support than when she nearly flipped this seat in 2018.

Don Bacon

Don Bacon served the nation in the Air Force for more than 29 years, attaining the rank of Brigadier General. Then he went to Congress to take health care away from the very people he’d been protecting so long, which doesn’t make a lick of sense to me. He opposes women’s rights and LGBTQ rights and gun control. To Don Bacon, there’s always plenty of money for the military (when all you have is a hammer…) and the GOP’s wealthy donor class, but health insurance for America’s working people? Sorry, chumps.

Sri Preston Kulkarni

Sri Preston Kulkarni served the nation as a diplomat overseas for fourteen years before the sight of Nazis marching through Charlottesville spurred him to bring his fight back home. Running an innovative campaign targeting voters in 21 different languages, Sri is the perfect new Congressman for the New Texas that’s emerging. His healthcare-focused message nearly flipped this district in 2018, so let’s push him over the finish line.

Troy Nehls

Troy Nehls is a local sheriff who is perhaps most famous for repeatedly downplaying his county’s notorious human trafficking problem. Before he was a shitty sheriff, Troy was a shitty cop, who got fired for “reasons including destruction of evidence.” Lately, he’s been a dangerous anti-mask/anti-science voice during the pandemic, even as COVID-19 spread through his district. Oh and he’s rabid Trumper, of course. Unless we want Gym Jordan’s Creepy Wingnut Caucus to grow, let’s keep this clown away from Congress.

Abigail Spanberger

We knew we’d gotten an ass-kicker when Abigail Spanberger first rose up to challenge Tea Party maniac Dave Brat. The former CIA operative now fights for gun control and health care from a seat the GOP held for 38 years. And her leadership on impeachment showed the world that even our most vulnerable members were willing to risk their careers to protect the nation from Trump’s lawlessness. We should keep her around, is what I’m saying here.

Nick Freitas

Nick Freitas is a cookie-cutter Rand Rand Paul/Heritage/FreedomWorks jackass who launched himself to wingnut stardom with a deranged, hateful, pro-gun speech on the floor of the House of Delgates that sounds like a bot after being fed 5,000 hours of Fox commentary. Anyway, young Nick is that magic combination of whinging victimhood, regurgitated talking points, and white boy mediocrity that drives Cult45 wild, but holy fuck he has no business writing anybody’s laws.
