U.S. Capitol riot prompts Democrat Jeff Sites to seek Rep. Jim Jordan’s congressional seat Sabrina Eaton, cleveland.com
WASHINGTON, D. C - The Jan. 6 riot where hundreds of Donald Trump’s supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol and disrupted the count of electoral votes that determined Joe Biden’s presidential victory made Lima warehouse manager Jeffrey Sites decide to make his second run for Congress against Champaign County Republican Rep. Jim Jordan.
Sites, who came in second in last year’s Democratic congressional primary with 29% of the vote, said he believes Jordan bears a measure of responsibility for the “insurrection” where four rioters and a police officer died because “he’s done nothing but parroted everything that Trump has had to say” for the better part of four years, and led other Republicans on the House of Representatives floor in questioning election results that were upheld in court.
