I have been impressed with Demi Palecek since I saw her pitch running for police district council. She's now running for state representative to succeed Rep. Hoan Huynh, who is running for US House ( #IL09).

Blaha and Palecek could face repercussions for their stances. Refusing a lawful federal order while serving in the National Guard could lead to a court-martial, imprisonment, or a felony-level discharge.

Illinois Guardsmen Capt. Dylan Blaha and Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek said this isn’t what they signed up for—and they’ll defy any order sending them after Chicago residents. “I’m not gonna go against my community members, my family, my culture, my neighbors,” Palecek said.

This morning, the administration publicly declared that Democratic lawmakers should be “punished by death” for calling out unconstitutional actions & reminding service members of their duty to refuse unlawful orders.
Tonight, watch me stand up & do exactly what they fear: defend our Constitution.
