The Good Gal

Elaine Luria

Elaine Luria was my favorite candidate in 2018, and now she’s my favorite freshman. A barrier-breaking 20-year Navy veteran, an entrepreneur, and…hell, read her bio yourself, I can’t do any better. Expertise, boldness, and a lifetime of service; this is what all our elected representatives should be like. Luria has a motto: Be Good, Do Good Work. She lives up to it. She looks out for her constituents. She led on impeachment. Let’s keep her around.

Scott Taylor

So, Scott Taylor is supposed to be a moderate. So “moderate” he voted for the AHCA, knowing it would wreck millions of American lives. He also voted for the GOP tax scam, even as he neglected to pay his own taxes. Scotty’s actually super shady, from his business history to his campaign forging signatures in an attempt to get a vote-splitting independent on the ballot. Coastal Virginia fired this crook two years ago for good reason, and now he wants his old gig back? Hard pass.

Anthony Brindisi

Anthony Brindisi is one of our majority-makers, a co-chair of the Blue Dog Coalition serving in a seat that’s leaned Republican more often than not. Centrists may not be sexy, but Anthony’s (insane) opponent loves pointing out that he almost never votes with Donnie Dotard. Brindisi has been precisely the hard-working bipartisan moderate he promised to be, and he took a big risk in supporting impeachment, so let’s get his back, okay?

Claudia Tenney

Claudia Tenney SUCKS, y’all. A dutiful little Trumper, she gained national fame by insisting mass shooters tend to be Democrats, a claim she pulled directly out of her ass. (Claudia is, naturally, an NRA puppet) She’s one of those loons who blames everything on the DEEP STATE, including, I shit you not, Ben Carson’s $31,000 dining set. While in office, she also claimed the bullshit GOP tax bill “already paid for” itself, in a genuinely Trumpian display of dumbass mendacity. We got this one right last time; please keep this maniac out of Congress.

Xochitl Torres Small

Xochitl Torres Small brought her killer resumé as a water attorney and Senate staffer to Congress, along with a firm understanding of the issues facing southern New Mexico: health care, water rights, energy development, broadband access, and more. Republicans thought they could take Xochitl down by hitting her over her impeachment vote, but that plan hit a coronavirus-shaped wall.

Yvette Herrell

This one’s a rematch; Yvette Herrell won’t take “leave us the fuck alone” for an answer. Before her failed attempt to bring Dotard-style hate politics to New Mexico, Herrell served on the board of everyone’s favorite band of corporation-humping ratfuckers, ALEC, ewwwwww. She won her primary by claiming to be the Trumpiest of Them All, which she proves by attacking the media and lying a lot. Another premature victory speech sure would be hilarious, though.

Andy Kim

Andy Kim is a former national security official who decided to challenge his Congressman when his Congressman tried to strip millions of Americans of their health insurance, because unlike his (now former) Congressman, Andy Kim fights for his constituents’ health. He served his country from the Pentagon to the White House to Afghanistan before hopping aboard the 2018 Blue Wave, and he’s been serving his district with distinction ever since.

David Richter

David Richter is yet another rich white guy looking to buy his way into politics any way he can. And it turns out if that meant going nuclear on a party favorite when Jeff Van Drew’s treachery forced him to find a new district to run in, well…no problem. Yeah, Richter is a bit of a carpetbagger, sure, but he’s also a cookie-cutter wall-building Trumpist, and if you still believe we need businessmen to clean up Washington, WOOO YOU CRAZY. PS, the dude literally moved jobs out of New Jersey, so caveat emptor and all that.

Jared Golden

Marine veteran Jared Golden became the first Congressman elected by ranked choice voting when he swung this seat in 2018. Since then he’s delivered bipartisan solutions in Washington and excellent service for his constituents in Maine. Golden is certainly an independent thinker; he split his impeachment votes and endorsed Michael Bennet in the presidential primary…let’s keep his voice in the room.

Dale Crafts

Dale Crafts is one of the Republican Party’s “young guns” and no I’m not kidding. I guess the cutting edge conservative up-n’-comers these days are rich old white men with medieval views on reproductive rights and marriage equality, dudes so wingnutty even their endorsements read like warnings. Dale is staunchly anti-health care, but manically pro-gun, an excellent fit for the death cult that is the modern GOP, but why would you let this loon write laws?
