Like Murphy, Perry campaigned as a conservative ally of President Donald Trump, who didn’t endorse in the contest. But she countered that she wouldn’t pledge loyalty to the Freedom Caucus or any other group before being elected because she was “going to Washington attached only to my constituents.”
A new Republican super PAC, Winning for Women, spent nearly $1 million to boost Perry, only to see her fall well short. “We took a political outsider with no name recognition and helped elevate her through a field of 17 candidates into a two-person runoff,” said Rebecca Schuller, Winning for Women's executive director. “This race is exactly why we are needed more than ever. We're not stopping here, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to get more women in the House in 2020.”
“I remain encouraged by the many dynamic, conservative and qualified women who are stepping up across the country,” said McMorris Rodgers. “If they don’t win their primaries, we won’t win back the majority. It’s that simple.”that she was "proud" to support her campaign and remained committed to helping female candidates. "Clearly, there's a lot more work to do!" she said.stepping up to run in the 2020 cycle.
Maybe, just maybe, they picked the candidate who they thought was most qualified. Many of us don't use gender as the critical deciding factor. And judging by the horrible female Congressmen the Dems have elected, this is a good thing.
Pediatrician Joan Perry would have been exactly like Murphy
WRONG! This election had NO basis on gender. Greg Murphey was the candidate most aligned with NC conservative voters. The attack ads hurt her badly. They spotlighted her mean spirited inclination to go negative.
Sad to read that ALT RT of GOP keeps rising to the top.
Trump traitor
Sweet. Another good Murphy in our congress. MAGA.
Wait a min. The republicants picked an older white dude? Well stop the presses for that original thought. 😂😂😂
So much for more republican women!
