…at least 57 individuals who played a role in that day’s events — either by attending the Save America rally that preceded the riots, gathering at the Capitol steps or breaching the Capitol itself — are now running for elected office.
Rather than disqualifying them from public service, the events of Jan. 6 appear to have served as a political springboard for dozens of Republicans who will be on the ballot this year for federal, state and local offices.
It’s difficult to state with precision just how many of those who participated in the rally on the Ellipse, marched to the Capitol or stormed the building will be on the ballot in 2022 — in many states, candidate filing deadlines are months away.
But a POLITICO review of Department of Justice case reports, social media posts, news accounts and interviews with attendees found that last year alone, 11 Jan. 6 protesters were elected to offices ranging from state legislature to city council to school board.
This year, more than two dozen are running for Congress, state legislature or statewide office — including at least two protesters who actually entered the Capitol.

A friend’s memory:
My husband was in a mission and had to live in the Arizona desert for a while.

I moved to Arizona with him and stayed in a little house. After a while, I realized how much I hated that place. The heat was unbearable and everything was covered in sand.

All the local people were Aboriginals and Mexicans. I had to stay alone every day at that miserable hut, called home. I couldn’t take it any longer. I wanted to leave and go back home to my family, even if it would cost me, my marriage.
