Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she intends to lock down the 2020 House election a year in advance, stressing the importance of recruiting candidates who can unseat GOP incumbents in swing districts, The Hill reports.
Said Pelosi: I intend to have this election won by this November, because by a year in advance, thats when people decide theyre going to run for office. We want the message to be clear, we will retain the majority, we will grow the majority and will do so because our candidates are doing their constituent work. We are, again, owning the ground, drilling down with our message, having the resources to win.
She added: So if you are Republican who might be thinking about running for Congress, you have to look at the strength of the person you want to unseat. And if youre a member of Congress, and youre a Republican, and youre deciding that you might be ready for retirement, you may have to remember that its going to cost you a lot of money to win or to lose. But if you win, you will be serving in the minority.
