Five Questions for Young Kim, Michelle Steel, and Ken Calvert on McCarthy’s Extreme MAGA Agenda

Just weeks after House Democrats prevented a GOP-manufactured default, Speaker Kevin McCarthy is putting highly vulnerable Reps. Young Kim, Michelle Steel, and Ken Calvert at risk just to placate his far-right base as they threaten his weakening grip on the Speaker’s gavel.

Californians deserve to know if Kim, Steel, and Calvert will stand up for their constituents or continue to stand with McCarthy and his extreme agenda.

  • Will Kim, Steel, and Calvert support efforts to fast track the GOP Tax Scam 2.0 to give tax giveaways to the wealthy and well-connected, and protect tax cheats?

  • Will Kim, Steel, and Calvert vote for ongoing Republican efforts to enact a nationwide abortion ban?

  • Do Kim, Steel, and Calvert support the political stunts targeting FBI Director Christopher Wray?

  • Do Kim, Steel, and Calvert support right-wing efforts to impeach the Homeland Security Secretary?

  • Do Kim, Steel, and Calvert want to impeach President Biden for overseeing the creation of 13 million jobs in 28 months?

Recent polling suggests vulnerable House Republicans – including Kim, Steel, and Calvert – are prioritizing the wrong issues. 

DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton
“Vulnerable House Republicans like Young Kim, Michelle Steel, and Ken Calvert are seemingly ok with bailing out Kevin McCarthy and advancing the Freedom Caucus’ extreme agenda at the direct expense of Californians. Kim, Steel, and Calvert’s continued deference to McCarthy’s radical and dangerous priorities is only helping Democrats build the case against them in 2024.”
