Let's Vote Them Out in 2024

By Bob Gould, As published in The Union

Kevin Kiley, our CD-3 Congressman, said in an embarrassing understatement last week after Speaker Kevin McCarthy was voted out, “Things have been a bit rocky in the House the last week.” A bit rocky? In the 250 years Congress has been around, a Speaker has never lost his job. But within the short ten months of your tenure, your party has brought this disaster about. Instead of “a bit rocky”, shouldn’t we call it a hopeless inability of a party to do its job and govern our country?

Then this past week, things in Congress got even worse. Now we can add that three times the far-right conservatives in the House tried to get Rep. Jim Jordan elected to the Speakership. Our CD-3 Representative Kevin Kiley not only voted all three times for Jordan but enthusiastically campaigned for him behind the scenes. Fortunately for the American people, the votes came up short each time. No person who loves their country and takes its security and prosperity seriously could ever vote for Jim Jordan, a dangerous figure whose rise illustrates the national catastrophe that the current Republican Party represents.

How is it that the most unfit people keep rising to the top of the MAGA/GOP mess and threatening the peace, prosperity and futures of our families, children, and grandchildren?

Let’s vote them out in 2024, starting with Rep. Kiley.

When CD-3 voters flip our district, we’d be protecting America from the dysfunctional Republicans who have paralyzed Congress.
