The self-described “Grim Reaper” of the Senate, Mitch McConnell has committed his career to working for big donors over his voters and doing everything he can to stop reform. He voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam that gave nearly $2 trillion in payoffs to his wealthy donors, and he led the Senate opposition to HR1, the bill to fix our democracy – preventing it from even coming to a vote. McConnell easily earns an anti-endorsement.
In addition to casting the deciding vote for Trump nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Collins completely sold out her voters to her big donors when she voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam. Some of Collins’ biggest donors saved billions thanks to her vote, including General Dynamics, which gave Collins over $200,000 and received a massive cut in their tax rate, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, which gave Collins nearly $100,000 and received $2.3 billion in savings in the tax bill. For delivering a massive payoff to her big donors over her voters, Collins fully earns an anti-endorsement.
Vern Buchanan (R-FL) got a massive loan from his big bank lobbyist buddies before his vote for the GOP tax scam that he used to celebrate by buying a yacht. That’s the Vern Buchanan agenda: Sell out everyday Floridians to get a massive payday for himself and his rich friends – then rub it in the face of his constituents and act like they won’t care.
Indicted for misusing $250,000 in campaign funds, Republican Duncan Hunter is out for himself and himself only. He spent campaign funds on countless personal expenses and is currently facing trial early next year.
Cornyn is Mitch McConnell’s deputy in the Senate. When he’s not whipping votes for the ‘Grim Reaper,’ he’s flying around the country raising money from corporate donors – despite refusing to hold a town hall in his home state. And Cornyn didn’t just vote for the 2017 GOP tax scam, he engineered its passage in the Senate. As Republican Whip, it was Cornyn’s job to ensure that the Republican tax bill passed in the Senate – the same bill that raised taxes on the middle class while delivering a nearly $2 trillion payoff to his big corporate donors. Cornyn fully earns an anti-endorsement.
Davis led the Republican opposition to HR1, the biggest reform bill in a generation, and consistently works for his big corporate donors over his voters. He voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam, delivering a nearly $2 trillion payoff to his biggest donors and corporations, and was supported by at least $2 million in dark money in his reelection campaign. For selling out his voters to his big donors and doubling down against reform, Davis fully earns an anti-endorsement.
Supported by the most extreme and racist hate groups in the country, King is also a favorite of Wall Street interests. He voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam that delivered a nearly $2 trillion payoff to his Wall Street donors and big corporations.

McSally represents the worst of big money Washington politics. She has earned the support of big dark money groups, mega-donors and big corporate special interests because they know that McSally is on their side. Their support paid off when she delivered a nearly $2 trillion payoff to her wealthy donors and corporations when she voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam. Martha McSally earns a HAZMAT anti-endorsement.
Tillis owes his career to big money donors, Super PACs, and dark money groups that spent massively to put him in office. So it’s no surprise he voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam that handed a nearly $2 trillion payoff to his wealthy donors and big corporations. Over the course of his federal career, Senator Tillis has taken nearly $2.2 million from corporate PACs and has repeatedly taken the side of corporate interests in Congress over North Carolinians. For selling out his voters again and again, Thom Tillis easily earns an anti-endorsement.
Ernst owes her career to the Koch Brothers, their network and their millions of dollars. They spent nearly $5 million supporting Ernst in her 2014 campaign. She returned the favor when she voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam, delivering a massive nearly $2 trillion payoff to her wealthy donors and big corporations. Ernst earns herself a HAZMAT ant-endorsement.
Holding is a corporate-backed politician who has taken over $2 million from corporate PACs, and sold out his voters to his big donors when he voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam. Holding is also one of the first-ever candidates to have a personal super PAC spend money to help him win his seat. For these reasons and more, Holding earns an anti-endorsement.
Hagedorn’s election was funded by billionaire interests, corporations, Super PACs, and dark money. He voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam which delivered his wealthy mega-donors and corporations a nearly $2 trillion payoff. Hagedorn’s corrupt pay-to-play politics earns him an anti-endorsement.
Upton has taken nearly $1 million from big Pharma interests and over $6.5 million from corporate PACs. He supports bills in Congress that raise the prices of prescription drugs and he voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam, delivering a nearly $2 trillion payoff to his big donors and corporations. For selling out his voters to corporate interests and drug companies, Upton earns an anti-endorsement.
Spano coordinated with a Super PAC run by a friend who he let hire and fire staff in his office. As if that wasn’t corrupt enough, he voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam, giving a nearly $2 trillion payoff to his wealthy donors and big corporations. So, it’s no surprise Spano has literally no grassroots support – in fact he only raised $1 in small donations. Representative Spano earns an anti-endorsement.
Notorious for organizing his staff around raising money rather than working for the people of his district, it’s no surprise Schweikert completely sold out his voters to his big donors when he voted for the 2017 GOP tax scam. Right-wing anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist even described Schweikert “one of the guys who made the magic happen on tax reform.” In other words, he led the effort to deliver a massive $1.9 trillion payoff to his big donors and corporations over everyday Arizonians. Schweikert is a massive sell-out who fully deserves an anti-endorsement.
