As unlikely as it seems this former Republican, now an Independent and third party candidate for the U.S. Senate, has been endorsed by the Democratic party. He is Evan McMullin , a former undercover CIA officer ,a conservative, and former chief policy director in Congress. If the name is familiar, you may have heard in in 2016 when he ran for president in 2016 as an independent.

A profile by Jennifer Rubin starts like this –

Evan McMullin, the conservative, independent candidate for the U.S. Senate in Utah, is determined to prove there is a pro-democracy coalition of traditional Republicans, Democrats and independents who can team up to defeat a rabid MAGA incumbent, Sen. Mike Lee. Lee, you might recall, eagerly lent his services to Donald Trump’s coup effort, working to engineer the defeated president’s second term in defiance of the will of voters.

I read the article and immediately googled Evan McMullin. Of course, there is a website for the campaign ( https://evanmcmullin.com/ ). You can read about him there or the many other links you will find about him.

You can also donate to his campaign if you like. I was impressed and I am petty sure it was my first contribution to a Republican or former Republican. (There seem to be quite a few of the former Republicans these days. The party is certainly not what it used to be.)
