Log Cabin Republicans host GOP candidates in tight Congressional races
MILWAUKEE — Republican Congressional candidates in some of the most anticipated races of the 2024 cycle delivered remarks at the Log Cabin Republicans Big Tent Event at Milwaukee’s Discovery World Art and Science Museum on Wednesday.
Speakers included U.S. Rep. Ken Calvert (Calif.), a 31-year incumbent with an anti-LGBTQ voting record who is narrowly trailing gay Democratic challenger Will Rollins, and Eric Hovde, an entrepreneur vying to unseat the first openly gay U.S.
Senator, Tammy Baldwin (Wis.). Nick Meade, president of LCR Coachella Valley, introduced the California congressman by acknowledging that Calvert “didn’t have the most loving relationship vote-wise for our community” when his district was redrawn to include Palm Springs in 2022. “We met with Ken,” Meade said. “We met with him again.
And he showed up again. And he showed up again. We asked him to come to events and he showed up to the events. We asked if he would support us financially.
