Another Republican bit the dust yesterday. Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado is resigning at the end of next week, putting an already razor-thin GOP majority at further risk. Here is the current and future picture in the House of Representatives...
March 22: Rep. Buck resigns; 218 GOP to 213 Dem
April 30: special election for NY-26. Expected Dem hold; 218 GOP to 214 Dem
May 21: special election for CA-20. Expected GOP hold; 219 GOP to 214 Dem
June 11: special election for OH-06. Expected GOP hold; 220 GOP to 214 Dem
June 25: special election for CO-04. Expected GOP hold; 221 GOP to 214 Dem
That means for the next few months, the GOP will be shorthanded while the Democratic caucus will be full and unified. Speaker in Name Only Johnson will only have room for a couple defections on ANY bill. It’s no way to run the insane asylum House of Representatives. Luckily, there’s a way to end this lunacy. It involves winning back the House of Representatives in November. If we pick up a net of four seats in the 2024 election, we will have control. Here’s how we do it!
- The 24 in 24 Fund is meant to target the 16 remaining Republicans in seats that Biden won in 2020. More details are below (it’s the 3rd option). We need to beat quite a few of these incumbents to win back the House.
- The Save The Majority 2024 Fund is meant to protect our 25 most vulnerable incumbents in the House. More details are below (it’s the 4th option). We need to save the majority of these incumbents to keep the House.
- The MAGA Dozen Fund is meant to target an additional 14 swing seat Republicans who can be beaten. More details are below (it’s the 5th option). Some of these races are admittedly longshots, but others in this group have a good chance of flipping.
The first fund has a decent number of donations to it, but the other two could use a little more love and attention. Feel free to donate to any fund you choose below!
Want to donate, but hate getting the harassing messages afterwards? Read THIS DIARY to stop them!
I’m planning on writing 70 election themed diaries this year. Please follow the #SaveTheMajority hashtag and the group Save the Majority so that you don’t miss information on the key down ballot races of 2024!
I am fundraising for a MASSIVE number of candidates! I’m also helping boost the Good News Roundup crew, who have two fundraisers of their own. That way, our combined powers reach the most candidates possible!
If you see “[district] nominee”, that means there is a contested primary for the seat, and I typically don’t meddle in primary elections.
Without further ado, below the fold are all of the pertinent fundraisers. If you want to add to the list, feel free to chime in with your candidate!
1. Donate to Re-elect President Biden and MVP Harris!
Thanks to Joe Biden, we now have an unemployment rate lower than Trump's, an inflation rate lower than Reagan's, and a NATO alliance more united than ever. He achieved this despite a daily onslaught against him and his family with a press that refuses to cover anything positive. He never whines or complains. He gets up each day and works hard for us.
.
That is exactly why we need to do all we can to help him win next November.

We have raised nearly $22.1k of the $100k goal!
