“A congressman‘s job is to speak the mind of those people they represent,” said Milam Langella, one of three Republicans challenging Crenshaw, who told GOP activists they were “kidding themselves” if they think the 2020 election was stolen.
“It appears that well over 50,000 people who attended the Trump rally [last month in Conroe] would agree that this last election was very questionable,” Langella said. “My duty as a congressman will be to not just vote conservatively, but to do what I can to kick over the ant hill, and fix what happened in 2020, as ugly as it might be.”
Hearst Newspapers sent questions about the election and searched campaign websites and social media pages of all of the 143 Republicans running for Congress in Texas. Of the 86 with discernible stances, at least 42 have said outright that the 2020 election was stolen, called the results illegitimate or said they would have voted not to certify. Another 11 candidates have said there was enough fraud or irregularities to cast doubt on the results of the election.
