John Duarte was one of the most liberal Republican members of Congress. Given that he publicly detailed socially progressive decisions he and his family made to leave a Church that preached traditional Christian values, it is not a stretch for one to use Duarte’s record in congress as a yardstick for what to expect from Alexandra Duarte.
Given that as a general rule, Women tend to be more liberal than men… it should give the readers pause as to what to expect even as Alexandra is visiting groups trying to define herself as something other than a social liberal in an attempt to gain traction.
You would think in a state where Republicans have 23% of the registrations, that the Republicans would welcome a new convert in to the fold! Instead Marie Alvarado Gil has two primary challengers (both to the left of her ideologically), including the deceitful Duarte clan trying to run to her right despite ample public information suggesting otherwise.
Not Bad, only 33% lower than the average Republican.
All that squishing did not do Duarte any good at the ballot box in 2024.
A sampling:
Voted against reforming the FBI!
Voted in favor of Biden Spending bills several times!
Voted to increase the Biden Debt Ceiling (as did Thomas Massie)!!!
Voted against Jackson / Roy Amendment to de-politicize the DOD!
Voted against a bill forcing the Chinese Government to divest from owning TikTok!
Voted against the Secure the Border Act!!!!!!
And remember one of the reasons Democrat Leadership threw Marie Alvarado Gil off of her State Senate committees is because Gil is Pro-Life. Then they basically ran her out of the party for asking too many questions about their insane legislation, but it sounds like Alexandra Duarte would have an easy time taking Gil’s place in their caucus should her deception of the SD-04 voters succeed.
Just for some extra color, Mr. Duarte was absent on a couple of prescient issues of the day as well:
Things that make you go hmmm…
