GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn Now Has A Democratic Challenger
A Democratic LGBTQ activist launched a campaign Wednesday to challenge far-right Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn for the chance to represent North Carolinas 11th District on Capitol Hill.
In her first video for the 2022 campaign, Jasmine Beach-Ferrara slammed Cawthorn for his role in the Save America rally held by former President Donald Trump directly before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Some people will say a gay woman whos a Christian minister just cant get elected in the South, she began. I say an insurrectionist who flirts with Nazis and fires up a violent crowd to attack our democracy ― well, he shouldnt get reelected anywhere.
Beach-Ferrara is currently serving as a commissioner for Buncombe County, which contains Asheville. In her video, she emphasized working across the aisle to alleviate the opioid crisis.
