The Parents of a Girl Killed at Annunciation Say Lisa Demuth Told Them She Wouldn't Block a Vote on an Assault-Weapons Ban. Then She Blocked It.

Mike Moyski and Jackie Flavin say House Speaker Lisa Demuth sat in their living room after their 10-year-old daughter Harper was killed at Annunciation Catholic Church and promised not to block a floor vote on an assault-weapons ban. When the Senate passed one, she kept it off the House floor — and later bragged to GOP activists that she 'led the effort to stop Democrats from taking our guns.'

Lisa Demuth Is Running for Governor as a Moderate. At the GOP Convention, Her Flyer Said She 'Fights and Wins for the MAGA Agenda.'

Lisa Demuth's general-election pitch is bipartisan and pragmatic. To win her party's nomination, she told activists she 'fights and wins for the MAGA agenda.'

At this week's debate, Susan Collins answered a question about being out of touch by recalling a year without health insurance. Within weeks of that 1994 loss she was running a center funded by Bushmaster's owner, a donor. A decade later she voted for the law that shields gunmakers from lawsuits — a law he had pushed hard for.
