John James Puts New Extreme Speaker and His Agenda Over Michiganders

Today, John James elected Rep. Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. After churning through a slew of other candidates, James 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 served as the chair of the Republican Study Committee, leading their efforts to slash Social Security and Medicare.

• 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.”

John James has completely abandoned working families in Michigan, siding with election deniers, anti-abortion extremists, and relentless attacks on Social Security and Medicare.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“Mike Johnson is Jim Jordan with a sports coat. And he has a new best friend: John James. James has enabled MAGA extremism every step of the way, and we’ll make sure that voters know that he again put the far-right before Michigan workers and families.”
