Read the Resumes of these 2024 Anti-Equality Candidates
This November, anti-equality candidates from coast to coast, up and down the ballot, will ask voters to elect them to jobs where they will have immense control over our rights and freedoms. Many of these MAGA politicians will try to hide or distort their records and qualifications. That’s why we’re sharing what these candidates’ actual resumes look like—because voters deserve to understand what’s at stake for their lives and their communities when they go to the polls.
