RSLC Releases New Video Highlighting 10 Right Leaders Network State Legislative Candidates for 2022
WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of its continued effort to grow the Republican Party from the ground up with more women and diverse state elected officials, the Republican State Leadership Committee today released a new video highlighting 10 of its Right Leaders Network state legislative candidates on the ballot across the country in 2022.
“Winning in 2022 and beyond won’t happen by following the same old playbook,” said RSLC President Dee Duncan. “In order to push back on the far-left’s dangerous agenda of record inflation, surging crime, and indoctrination in our schools, we need diverse candidates who represent the values of their communities and will bring a commonsense approach to their state capitals. The RSLC, through its Right Leaders Network, is committed to continuing to invest in the future of the GOP by supporting extraordinary candidates like these.”
The candidates spotlighted in the video are:
Alina Garcia (FL HD-115)
Janie Lopez (TX HD-37)
Cyrus Javadi (OR HD-32)
Leon Spencer (PA HD-158)
Nicole Chavez (NM HD-28)
Kronda Thimesch (TX HD-65)
Stephen Varela (CO SD-3)
Tracy Cramer (OR HD-22)
Soo Hong (GA HD-103)
Suzette Vallardes (CA AD-40)

TRANSCRIPT
NARRATOR: This November, the futures of our country and our Party are on the ballot. Defending our ground and taking on liberal strongholds, all while being dramatically outspent, requires a different playbook. One that relies on quality candidates who reflect the communities they represent. Candidates aligned with the Right Leader’s Network and its mission of growing the GOP from the ground up. And we’ve been hard at work
MERCEDES SHLAPP (Clip): Republican turnout was huge this time.
RSLC PRESIDENT DEE DUNCAN (Clip): They stood up and they said enough is enough. That’s going to be the same thing in 2022.
NARRATOR: But liberal billionaires are still spending at a record pace to push their socialist agenda and the battle has only just begun. With surging crime, staggering inflation, and indoctrination in schools, state Republicans are our only line of defense. And a new generation of leadership is rising to the challenge, more diverse than ever before. Because standing up for the rights of parents, supporting law enforcement and pushing back on Biden’s economic destruction, won’t be easy and we’ll need the Right Leaders.
BACKGROUND
Launched in the fall of 2021, the Right Leaders Network is the redoubling of RSLC’s long-standing efforts to grow the future of the Republican Party. Through the RSLC’s Right Women Right Now and Future Majority Project initiatives, the committee over the past decade has recruited, trained, supported, and elected thousands of diverse state Republicans across the country, many of whom went on to serve in statewide and federal offices. The Right Leaders Network is both enhancing and growing the committee’s recruiting and training capabilities and allowing for:
Prioritizing electing more women, as well as candidates from communities of color and diverse backgrounds.
Engaging former state leaders, who now hold high federal or state office, to serve as mentors for the next generation of Republican leaders.
Growing partnerships with aligned Republican organizations who share the same mission.
The Right Leaders network had extraordinary success in 2021 in both Virginia and New Jersey.
The RSLC was Winsome Sears' largest donor in her campaign to become Virginia’s first ever female and Black female lieutenant governor. And 57% of the House of Delegates candidates who flipped seats in Virginia were women or minorities.
In New Jersey, 100% of Assembly seats flipped were women or diverse candidates and 75% of total seats (Assembly and Senate combined) were flipped by women.
