My Work is Done Here: A Christian Nationalist Moves On…Or Not

A Case Study

How does a Christian Nationalist transition from county-level government to the U.S. Senate?

Christian Nationalism and Trumpian MAGA politics are so intertwined as to be indistinguishable. Yet, there comes a time when a politician, seeing trouble coming, wants to trick out a difference however small.

A Case Study:

Such a time has come for Rebekah Curran, current county commissioner and would-be U.S. Senate candidate from Michigan.

Ms. Curran became an Ottawa County, Michigan commissioner in 2022, identifying as an adherent to Ottawa Impact, a Christian Nationalist political action group that funded Ms. Curran’s campaign. To date her political resume consists of two years as a commissioner. That’s it, two years.

According to the official county website[1], Ms. Curran:

“…is a seasoned sales & marketing professional with 15 years of managerial experience with Marriott International, Hilton Hotels, Hyatt Hotels, and The Berkeley Hotel. In 2012, after completely submitting her life to Christ, she felt led to forge a new path into politics and fundraising. She is thankful for the honor of working for The Family Foundation, Amanda Chase for Virginia State Senate & Governor, Ben Carson’s Presidential Super PAC, and Trump Victory. She also worked in fundraising to advance the cause of many non-profits… Rebekah, and her family, live in Georgetown Township and attend Resurrection Life Church…
