Today, increasingly vulnerable New York Republican Brandon Williams elected Rep. Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. After churning through a slew of other candidates, Williams went all in for Johnson and his extremism:
In case you haven’t heard of him, here’s a bit about Johnson:
-
Johnson pushed for a total abortion ban without exceptions and voted for legislation to punish doctors for providing essential reproductive care.
-
Johnson led the efforts to slash Social Security and Medicare as the chair of the Republican Study Committee.
-
Johnson was instrumental in the plan to overturn the 2020 election – the New York Times named him “the most important architect of the Electoral College objections.”
Williams has completely abandoned working families in Central New York, anti-abortion extremists, and relentless attacks on Social Security and Medicare.
DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Mike Johnson is Jim Jordan with a sports coat. And he has a new best friend: Brandon Williams. Williams has enabled MAGA extremism every step of the GOP’s chaotic speaker fight and increased his own vulnerability along the way. We’ll make sure that voters know that Brandon Williams again put the far-right before workers and families across Central New York and the Mohawk Valley.”
