Anti-Trump/Non-Trumpist Republican or Conservative 2022 Federal Candidates

Although many anti-Trump, or at least non-Trumpist, Republican members of the United States Congress either chose not to seek reelection or were not renominated by the GOP, or anti-Trump candidates for seats in the federal legislature were not nominated, there still remain several anti-Trump center-right Republicans on the ballot in various States. The candidates range from moderately conservative to more staunchly conservative, as opposed to Trumpist (populist, nativist, isolationist and authoritarian and who promote false conspiracy theories, such as about the 2020 election). It is imperative for conservatives and moderates to vote for Republican or consservative candidates who are not Trumpist, not only because Trumpism is wrong, but to eradicate the influence of Donald Trump over the Republican Party. U.S. Senate: Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, the Republican nominee; Joe O’Dea of Colorado, the Republican nominee who is a businessman who campaigns openly against Trump’s influence on the GOP; Evan McMullin of Utah, an independent candidate who is a former Central Intelligence Agency officer, U.S. House of Representatives Republican Caucus Policy Coordinator, independent presidential candidate in 2016, Founder of Stand Up Republic, endorsed by the Forward Party; Note: the Democratic Party did not nominate anyone for the seat. U.S. House of Representatives: Representative David Valadao of California, the Republican nominee for the 21st Congressional District; Representative Dan Newhouse of Washington, the Republican nominee for the 4th Congressional District. I shall update this post if I become aware of additional non-Trumpist Republican or conservative federal candidates. There are also many State candidates seeking election who are Republican or conservative and not Trumpist. General Election Day is Tuesday, November 8.
