The Candidates
Over the last few years, the most extreme wing of the party has captured the GOP, which means that every Republican candidate is helping to empower the extremism at the center of their party.
Many Republican candidates pretend they will be good stewards of our communities’ safety and prosperity while at the same time looking to benefit off people’s fears and anxieties. They would deny citizenship, block all refugees, and waste billions more on failed ideas. Hoping most voters ignore the radicalization that has led the Republican party to embrace white nationalist conspiracy theories that have been deadly to our communities.
