WA House candidate Katy Cornell claims she's a "common-sense Republican" who wants unity. She's also a pastor whose church removed her controversial sermons from YouTube. But they were too late. Now those sermons are coming back to haunt her. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/the-sermon...

friendlyatheist.comThe sermons Republican Katy Cornell doesn’t want voters to hearThe Washington House candidate says she wants to unite her district. Her sermons reveal a record of opposing abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, and church-state separation.

They keep coming….

UPDATE: Katy has now deleted this and other sermons and trainings she did. After their first wave of deletes, I discovered more of her videos on Vimeo but, unfortunately, those are now gone. She's not a transparent and honest person. She's trying to hide her extremist beliefs from voters.

More Katy Cornell…

Caleb Fahey (on the right) ran for Tacoma School Board in 2025 and lost 29.3% to 70.8%. Caleb is a big supporter of WA Rep candidate Katie Cornell and they're both anti-queer Christian Nationalists. After Fahey did his anti-queer campaign speech from the pulpit, Tom Cornell also endorsed Trump.

Hey #gigharbor are you paying attention to the Republican extremist running for State Legislature for LD26?

Imagine if this husband and wife pastoral team wins the WA State Rep position? Katy, Tom's wife, is campaigning right now against 2 Democrats. Katy's been deleting all of her sermon videos to hide the evidence of her extremist, anti-democracy beliefs but Tom's sermons are still up.

It’s critical we expose these Christian Nationalist candidates that are running for office at the local level. Katy Cornell is running for state representative in LD26 which is Gig Harbor to Bremerton. She’s trying to portray herself as a moderate. Read below and share with anyone in the area

WA State Rep candidate Katy Cornell says you must obey her and disown your heretical and non-fundamentalist Christian friends or you'll be led into witchcraft, New Age beliefs, drugs, and "utter darkness." She says what I believe is dangerous and it will contaminate her congregants.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

The war on immigration is just all bad in every possible direction. --It is very expensive --It radicalizes government agencies --It distorts US foreign policy --It is very harmful to the economy --It is also quite cruel. There is no second/third order consequence that is positive.

Prison Policy Initiative@prisonpolicy.org

Local jails–mostly run by elected sheriffs–are making money off of ICE's rampant criminalization of immigration.

In 1990, the state of Illinois’s Black and Hispanic population was 22.5%. The flagship University of Illinois, where Andreesen graduated with a bachelor’s in 1993 had a total Black and Hispanic student population of **9.6%*** in 1991. So who was being discriminated against exactly?

Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦‍♂️
