Democrats are targeting these 4 NJ GOP Congressional seats in 2018

NJ-02 – Frank LoBiondo - voted no on tax bill - retiring. Open seat

NJ-03 – Tom MacArthur - voted YES on tax bill - being challenged by Andy Kim, a former Obama national security adviser

NJ-07 – Leonard Lance - voted no on tax bill

NJ-11 – Rodney Frelinghuysen - voted no on tax bill

Adopt the challenger for one of these guys - support them, follow them, report on DU about them, urge us to contribute when we can.

The ones who voted against the tax bill not so much. They might be moderate republicans.
We do have some of those still wandering around. Need more info.

If they can’t sway their party, they are useless. Bye.

That is the point. Even though they voted no on this bill, their presence is the reason the bill came up in the first place.

Need as many Dems as possible to take back the house and stop GOP from setting agenda.

List of Candidates in the 7th.

I'm still supporting Peter Jacob if he runs.

Our candidates (most) started in February.

They learned from Phil. He had ads during the 2016 election. First in, highest name recognition.

Lance has really succumbed to Indivisible.

After seeing what happened in Virginia, and after what NJ has been thru, I would expect Smith to be on a target list.
