Preparation for Special Session and Disingenuous Republican Narratives

• When: Thursday, July 8, 2021
• He has not yet specifically said what will be on the agenda.
• Based on his previous statements, however, we can make an educated guess.

• There are currently four candidates: former State Rep. Matt Rinaldi, David Covey, Chad Willbanks, and Bill Burch.
• Current State Republican Executive Committee members will choose the next chairman on Sunday, July 11.

• Several Republican lawmakers are attempting to blame Democrats for legislative priorities like election integrity not getting across the legislative finish line.
• That claim is either intentionally disingenuous or politically naive—perhaps both.
• Both the House & Senate met for less time and delayed considering priorities from the get-go.
