[janwinter]

Jeez. I do not want to be told to pay property taxes. But I have too. What real issues will he back ?

[barrykevin]

Well done congressman , While I don't agree with all your viewpoints it's nice to see normal Republicans winning again.

[tedbeach]

I think I herd that the other candidate was up 17 points until she was endorsed by the orange king maker.

[cultureal]

Trump lost the election, lost the candidate he endorses

“Reagan Republican” means “all I want to do is cut big tech taxes”

[shiina_mahiru_]

so military power > social issue? The fact that he makes these two things comparable makes me feel worried.

[maggiemims]

Any one 45 support's will not win!!!!

[eddiearmijo]

Hopefully he'll work for the American people. And not 45s Corrupt Republican party.

[journeymansmitty]

[terrykane]

Trump endorsed Jake's opponent. That's why Jake won.

🇺🇸. Republicans are united. . Republican Party has many good great patriots, the same platform, America first, but different personalities. Congrats Ellzey. District 6 is a part of the entire state. Ellzey is not a Rino.or a Socialist Democrat. 🇺🇸

Wright died from C’19. As a person running under the Republican ticket. He better be careful what he wished for.
