It Could Have Been Worse

If you think there was no Republican candidate for the Senate worse than Mehmet Oz, think again, and then take a look at Oz's opponents in the 2022 primary.

Kathy Barnette

Barnette offered a pledge that she’d protect individual first and second amendment rights. Barnette considered herself anti-abortion and pro-limiting immigration. Finally, she vowed to fight government-imposed income stagnation and wealth inequality by keeping inflation low.  GOTV doubts that would have meant her supporting the IRA.

David McCormick

McCormick's stance significantly mirrored Barnette's in focusing on economic issues: growing the country’s economy, standing up to China, and establishing American energy independence. So far so good. But McCormick also wanted to stop illegal immigration, rebuild the military, and promote voter ID requirements. But wait – there's more. McCormick was, and GOTV assumes still is, anti-abortion, and a full-throated supporter of the 2nd Amendment.

Jeff Bartos

Bartos based his positions on the idea that he’s a fighter looking to restore hope and opportunity for all Pennsylvanians. To Mr. Bartos, that equals economic policies that can make home ownership, health care, and education more affordable; Bartos called these staples of middle-class life.

Carla Sands

GOTV saved the best of the worst for last. Sands’ platform called for:

  • labeling President Biden a socialist

  • increasing Pennsylvania’s natural gas production (but not moving away from fossil fuels)

  • protecting the 2nd Amendment (which, to the best of GOTV's knowledge, has never been in danger)

  • building a border wall to stop illegal immigration

  • being anti-abortion
