U.S. House of Representatives
2018 election
Houlahan ran for and won election to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2018 Midterms, defeating Republican opponent Greg McCauley by over fifteen points[2] after redistricting turned the district from a swing seat into a mostly Democrat stronghold.[3] She ran on a campaign somewhat distancing herself from Nancy Pelosi, neither announcing support nor opposition towards the latter.[4] However, she took several thousands of dollars in donations from super PACs tied to Pelosi[5] and announced support for her as House speaker after winning election to the House seat.[6]
Tenure
Houlahan has compared Donald Trump to a "terrorist" over negotiations for a southern border wall.[7]
Along with other phony "moderate" Democrats in the House, Rep. Houlahan supported the impeachment coup against Donald Trump[8] and maintained her position on the matter even as public support for the inquiry dropped.[9] Along with the majority of her party, she voted in favor of the sham articles of impeachment,[10] eliciting strong criticism from 2020 Republican challenger John Emmons.[11]
Phony âmoderateâ
A member of the Gang of Nine,[12] Houlahan has been referred to by the establishment media as a "moderate" Democrat.[13][14] Note that she has voted in favor of the far-left Equality Act,[15] in favor of removing the ratification deadline for the ERA,[16] and has received mostly high ratings from left-wing organizations.[17]
