Mike From PA

Michael Beyer, known online as Mike From PA, is an American political Twitch streamer and YouTuber who advocates for socialism. He's a controversial figure among the online leftist community and frequently gets into malding matches with other creators.

History
Before becoming a political streamer, Mike ran as a candidate for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives District 131 under the Democratic Party in 2014. He was briefly kicked off the ballot after the GOP launched a lawsuit over his filing in which a Democratic Party Secretary filled in Mike's employment as "lawyer". Mike claims to have never implied to be a lawyer. Eventually, a judge ruled that the lawsuit was irreverent, allowing Mike to be put back on the ballot after a successful write-in campaign in the Democratic Primary. In the elections, Mike would go on to lose to Justin Simmons with 38.9% of the vote.

Later on in 2018, he would work as a producer for The Majority Report with Sam Seder, a left-leaning radio talk show.

In more recent years, he has gained a following for streaming his political commentaries on Twitch under his channel Central Committee. He also gained coverage for his numerous debates with Destiny.

As of 2021, his streams average between 1.5k and 2k viewers, making him a relatively sizable figure.
