Courtney Johnston says if Mr. Ogles or his seat is vacated by any means, we stand at the ready to run.

 Email from Courtney Johnston, Sept 16, 2024:

Rod – I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support. I’m so grateful to each and every one of you that contributed financially to our campaign and to those who volunteered your time in support of me. Although we did not win the election, friends, I want you to know that your help was invaluable and kept us fighting until the end.

Though we may be disappointed with the results, I’m proud of all that we have achieved together and what your support meant to me throughout this campaign. Together, we were able to raise an astounding $922,000 that, among other things, allowed us to amplify our message of better, more effective representation with character and integrity. I continue to believe in that and will continue to provide that.

So what happened? Every political strategist believes that the assassination attempt on former President Trump’s life (that happened the day after early voting began) derailed our momentum. His popularity soared for that 3 week period. That event coupled with the Trump endorsement Ogles touted was too much to overcome.

The elephant in the room is the FBI raid at our congressman’s home and DC office the day after the election. He certainly has his hands full with that. While no one can predict the outcome of that investigation, the situation is eerily similar to that of George Santos who was ousted by vote in the House. If this happens to Mr. Ogles or his seat is vacated by any means, we stand at the ready to run in any special election that would be held to have the honor of representing and serving my community in Washington.

I remain dedicated to improving and supporting our community with a focus on public safety and fiscal responsibility. I stand firm in my belief that we deserve better than Mr. Ogles on many levels. I hope you will continue to support me in that effort.

Thank you again for being part of my campaign. We couldn’t have done it without you, and I look forward to staying in touch.

Courtney Johnston
