David Lowe Made Veiled Threats On My Life, Now He's Running For The Legislature

From violent rhetoric to Nazi-aligned campaign backing, as a legislator, Lowe would be a threat to our communities.

Over a year ago, a Republican contacted me and wanted to tell me all about Jonathan Stickland’s gay sister. Of course, I thought it was interesting, considering the frequency with which Stickland used genocidal language toward the LGBTQ community.

I was given Stickland’s sister’s TikTok account. She is very out of the closet and proud of it. I sent her one comment, which was something about how I wanted to ask her a question about her brother. She responded immediately, “I’m not in politics; talk to my brother about any question you have.”

Fine. I’m a nice person. I said okay, and that was the end of it. Of course, if she had been willing to talk to me, I would have asked her how she reckons with her relationship with her brother, knowing that her brother believes her to be an abomination and wants her dead. But I never got that chance.

A few days later, Jonathan Stickland tagged me on Twitter and said, “Family was off limits. His Family wasn’t even political.”
