Jake Sullivan in Congress
Everything is interconnected everywhere, and the irrelevance of events and people to one another is nothing more than a myth. The world of politics is a place where this reality can be understood. Jake Sullivan, the U.S. National Security Advisor, has unintentionally made headlines in the U.S. elections. In fact, it is his wife, Maggie Goodlander, who has sparked a heated race by running for a seat in the House of Representatives, a safe Democratic seat in New Hampshire. Ann McLane Kuster, the veteran Democratic representative, announced her retirement, and a hotly contested primary race began to determine the Democratic candidate for her seat.
Maggie Goodlander, a well-known figure with a famous family in the region, unexpectedly entered a fiercely competitive and highly tense race with her Democratic rival. Both sides launched intense campaigns against each other, with her opponent sharply highlighting Goodlander’s weaknesses.
The discussion turned to her past support for Republicans, raising questions among Democrats about whether she might be in favor of restricting abortion rights.
Ann McLane also took a stance against her. Even the issue of the financial statement Goodlander released became controversial, and she had to admit that she had not fully disclosed her assets, revealing a significant portion of her wealth only recently after these revelations. Ultimately, Maggie Goodlander won the primary election, and it seems unlikely that she will face much difficulty in the final round.
Goodlander is a well-known figure in Washington. She has been one of the notable advisors to Senator John McCain, a prominent Republican figure and Obama’s rival in the 2008 election.
The world is not so vast that nothing is connected to anything else. Jake Sullivan, who orchestrated the conversation between Rouhani and Obama in the story of the Iran nuclear deal, is also part of this narrative.
