Related: About this forumThey were at the Capitol riot. Now, these Michigan Republicans want your vote
From left: Ryan Kelley, Jason Howland, Angela Rigas, Audra Johnson and Jon Rocha seen here in video footage and social media posts were at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to protest an election lost by former President Donald Trump. (screenshots)
Ryan Kelley climbed on scaffolding, helped a man moving a police barricade and repeatedly waved fellow protesters toward the Capitol riots in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6.
Now, hes running for governor of Michigan.
Kelleys ally in organizing rallies against pandemic orders in Michigan, Jason Howland, was there that day too, just feet away from a clash between protesters and police. He made it inside the Capitol with hundreds of others, many of whom now face criminal charges.
Howland is now running for state House.
Also at the Washington, D.C. protests were congressional candidates Audra Johnson and Jon Rocha and state House candidate Angela Rigas. They say they werent on the front lines of the insurrection and were simply exercising their rights to demonstrate and protest.

I hope they set some kind of record for plastering images of these insurrectionists all over the state. Put them on magazines, put them on the TV news every day during the election. Make sure everyone knows who they are, what they did... and by extension of their faithful displaying signs and so on, allow their supporters to identify themselves so everyone around them knows who agreed with this sedition.
