Will Jim Mowrer Back Pelosi For Speaker?

As national Democrats continue their hopeless efforts to retake the House majority, Democrat candidates in competitive districts across the country are refusing to commit to backing Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House should they be elected. Just 63 days out from Election Day voters deserve to know if Jim Mowrer will cast his ballot for Nancy Pelosi for speaker.

These Democrats are essentially campaigning on the promise of giving Pelosi, one of the most toxic political figures in recent cycles, the speaker’s gavel again, yet find themselves afraid to publicly express their implicit support. Jim Mowrer is stuck between a rock and a hard place, as he will be relying on outside spending by the DCCC (Pelosi’s campaign arm) and House Majority PAC (Pelosi’s Super PAC), while dodging the question of whether or not he will back her for speaker.

The DCCC and House Majority PAC currently have a combined $1.5 million reserved in Des Moines media market.

NRCC Comment: “Will Jim Mowrer commit to supporting Nancy Pelosi for House speaker if elected this fall? As Nancy Pelosi continues to prop up Jim Mowrer’s campaign voters deserve to know if he will stand behind Pelosi and her extreme agenda of higher taxes, more spending, and endless red tape that kills badly needed jobs.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Kate Constantini
