In mid-August we started a fundraiser for 38 of the most highly contested House races.
Why? Because although keeping the House is a longshot, it is also totally a possibility.
And it is important. I mean really, does anyone want to see Kevin McCarthy as Speaker? Or Marjorie Taylor Green and Matt Gaetz chairing committees? Does anyone want to see Biden’s agenda ground to a halt and 24/7 hearings on Hunter Biden?
No one wants that.
So we fundraised for the House and you all donated over $80,000! More than $2,000 per candidate! Wow!
Here is that fundraiser:
Save the House Part 1
That went so well that we made a second fundraiser with an additional 22 people. These were folks who had recently won primaries or had recently been moved into the “in play” category.
And lo and behold, you all donated over $44,000! More than $2,000 per candidate! Wow!
Here is that fundraiser:
Save the House Part 2
It is time to put together a third, and final, fundraiser, and we want YOU to nominate local candidates for us to support!
For the first two races, we stuck to only candidates that are rated as Toss Up or Lean R or Lean D. You can find some of those ratings here and here (scroll down for “Forecasting Each House Race”)
Who do you think we should fundraise for? Why? Are they in a seat that was rated as competitive? If not, why do you think we should include them anyway?
This can be someone we supported before or someone brand new.
Nominate House candidates in the comments! Explain why you think they should be supported.
If you see someone you support nominated by someone else, like the comment and add your two cents in another comment.
Thanks! Let’s do this!
