Endorsed Candidates Win Their General Elections
While votes are still being counted and a presidential winner undeclared, we can claim some victories in the meantime. Eagle Forum PAC endorsed twelve candidates for U.S. House and Senate ahead of their general elections. These are candidates who are committed to a conservative philosophy of limited government, national sovereignty, and traditional values. Those who are incumbents have a record of fighting for American families and have shown great leadership in their position. An outstanding ten of those candidates won!
The U.S. Senate was in play, meaning that the Republican majority could be overturned in this election. Eagle Forum PAC endorsed Senate candidates Lindsey Graham (SC), Tommy Tuberville (AL), and John James (MI). Senator Graham was able to retain his seat despite a highly contentious race, and Tuberville beat Senator Doug Jones, reclaiming the Republican seat that was lost in 2018. James’s race was not called until days after the election due to ballot counting complications. Unfortunately, he lost the race by only 1%. The Senate as it currently stands is at a 48-48 tie with four seats left to call.
Running for open seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, Eagle Forum PAC endorsed candidates Barry Moore (AL-2), Jeanne Ives (IL-6), Victoria Spartz (IN-5), Nancy Mace (SC-1), and Ronny Jackson (TX-13). Ives unfortunately lost her race by only 5% of the vote. All others won and will join the House as freshmen.
Eagle Forum PAC also endorsed incumbents Debbie Lesko (AZ-8), Mike Johnson (LA-4), Chip Roy (TX-21), Tom Tiffany (WI-7). Congressman Roy had the toughest race against Wendy Davis, a Democrat politician who was known for her extreme pro-abortion stances. While Planned Parenthood and other liberal organizations funneled money into her campaign, it still was not enough to topple a pro-life, pro-family conservative. Cong. Roy, as well as all other endorsed incumbents, won their races. Currently, the House stands 204 Democrats and 190 Republicans with 41 races yet to be called.
Eagle Forum is hopeful that these small victories will lead to big changes in our political landscape. Not only are we monitoring the races that will soon be decided, but we are watching as investigations unfold in districts with potential voter fraud. Our democratic elections depend on fair and unbiased processes. We will keep you updated on those outcomes.
