What votes of Letlow do you find most concerning?


I’d have thought for sure you would receive several immediate and specific answers.

I don't think I could vote for Xan seeing that X post. Can't trust people who don't use oxford commas.

Here are some concrete examples of John Fleming’s right-wing positions based on his political record and campaign statements: ?
• Anti-abortion: As a U.S. Representative, Fleming was a staunch opponent of abortion, voted to bar federal funds for abortion-related services and supported federal measures recognizing life at fertilization. ?
• Limited government & fiscal conservatism: He helped found the House Freedom Caucus, a conservative bloc pushing for smaller government and reduced federal spending. ?
• Opposes federal energy subsidies: Fleming has said he would seek to repeal federal tax credits for carbon-capture projects, calling them wasteful government spending. ?
• Aligned with Trump/MAGA: He emphasizes his values as aligned with former President Donald Trump and conservative voters. ?

She votes with republicans 99% of the time according to Voteview.

I don't have a problem with her votes, I have a problem with her entering the race to take votes away from Fleming when the party needs to purge Cassidy. Fleming was in it first and was doing just fine in the polls, no need for her to enter also.

The Governor needed a horse in the race, and he doesn’t get along with Fleming. And he and Miguez had a falling out too a session or two ago. So he begged Trump to endorse Letlow so she’d get in. If it wasn’t Letlow, then Julie Emerson would have stayed in the race and Landry would have asked Trump to endorse her.

Don’t worry, he’s not even on the ballot. Didn’t qualify.

I have said it before and I will say it again. POTUS Trump knew his support for Letlow would give the seat to Fleming. Letlow and Cassidy draw votes from the same pile.


This is logical. Maybe not intended by Trump, but logical.

It really makes sense if you take into account that Letlow will be replaced by Miguez.

IF all of the above was the intent of Trump, then of is truly 4D chess (getting Fleming and Miguez while simultaneously losing Cassidy and Letlow).

You are probably aware of the close relationship between Fleming and POTUS Trump, right?

Of the 3, Cassidy is spending the most on ads. Doesn't seem to be working.
