The Government Integrity Project (GIP) hosted a debate of U.S. Congressional Candidates at Grace Ministries International in Brentwood, NH on August 13, 2022 (video is below). NH State Rep. Tim Baxter, Gail Huff-Brown, Karoline Leavitt, and Russell Prescott all participated in the informative and energetic event that lasted about 90 minutes.
Perhaps Candidate Matt Mowers refused to participate because he was afraid he would have to explain why he voted twice in 2016 in the Presidential Primary and then have to defend why he embraces “Election Integrity” as one of his campaign issues. Mowers also supports Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House. McCarthy would have the authority to shut down “America First” on day one. But that’s another story…
The debate provided insights as to where each candidate stood on a wide range of questions before ~160 enthusiastic attendees who showed up and made their voices heard. All questions were answered openly and honestly, except for one… by one candidate: “If elected, who would you support for Speaker of the House?”
Only Karoline Leavitt refused to answer the simple question. Instead, she provided a non-answer.
One of her opponents, Tim Baxter called her out – and claimed that Leavitt endorsed Kevin McCarthy both in writing and on video. That exchange was repeated multiple times, and each time, Leavitt shook her head “no” and then responded with another non-answer. It was disappointing to see that from Leavitt, because she has been pushing for transparency and change in our federal government. Baxter subsequently made this Twitter post to back up his claims.
