U.S. House of Representatives
2018 election
Mucarsel-Powell was elected to the United States House of Representatives in the 2018 Midterms, defeating moderate RINO Carlos Curbelo by less than 2% of the votes cast[3] after the latter pushed for liberal legislation,[4][5] opposing Donald Trump to the point of mentioning impeachment,[6] and refused support from the president.

...on the other hand, you had some that decided to 'let's stay away, let's stay away.' They did very poorly. I'm not sure that I should be happy or sad, but I feel just fine about it. Carlos Curbelo... Mike Coffman... too bad, Mike. |
