Activists in Mississippi are ready for the runoff election on Tuesday, June 24th. FreedomWorks for America President Matt Kibbe crossed the state and spoke to activists in five cities, bringing more campaign materials and visiting with activists. The tour started in Olive Branch and went to Tupelo, Starkville, Jackson, and ended in Gulfport.
This week, an economics professor from a small liberal arts college in Virginia did something no one else has ever done: He handily defeated the sitting House Majority Leader in a primary election.
Following breaking news that Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-ID) announced his candidacy to run for House Majority Leader, FreedomWorks president Matt Kibbe released the following statement:
FreedomWorks is mobilizing its membership to urge Rep. Raúl Labrador (ID-1) to run for House Majority Leader, following Eric Cantor’s resignation after his primary upset. Activists are calling on Rep. Labrador to run, as well as contacting their representatives in the House to support him. The leadership election will be on June 19, with Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA-22) currently the only one in the race.
FreedomWorks for America announced a statewide “Get out the Vote” tour to distribute grassroots materials to activists across Mississippi supporting Chris McDaniel in the GOP Senate primary runoff.
