HOUSE
Wendy Davis - TX21
Sri Kulkarni - TX22
Candace Valenzuela - TX24
Kate Schroder - OH01
Eugene DePasquale - PA10
Carolyn Bordeaux - GA07
Pat Timmons-Goodson - NC08
Christina Finello - PA01

They're all competitive races in Battleground States with up-ticket synergy
SENATE
Jon Ossoff - GA
Theresa Greenfield - IA
Steve Bullock - MT
Cal Cunningham - NC
Sara Gideon - ME
John Hickenlooper - CO
Mark Kelly is not on the list because he has more money than he'll need
Barbara Bollier is not on the list because Chris Kobach is not the R nominee
Raphael Warnock is not on the list because he's not perfoming well, and would need to go to a runoff in December when turnout will be lower
GOVERNOR
Mike Cooney - MT
Nicole Galloway - MO
SECRETARY OF STATE
Bryce Bennett - MT
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Ralph Greybill - MT

(32,017 posts)I am a bit shocked by Ossoff in GA, and I am sad to discover that we have little chance in KS, now, but I agree with you on that.
Thank you for the update.

(112,308 posts)I lived in TX-24 and former Irving mayor Beth Van Duyne (R) campaign, has a definite advantage over Valenzuela. District 24 is composed of upper middle class (Carrollton, Irving, Grapevine, North Richland Hills) and outright wealthy suburbs (Coppell, Southlake).and has elected Republicans for a long time.
Meanwhile, Ortiz-Jones narrowly lost the election for District 23 in 2018 and that district is nearly evenly split between Tepublicans and Democrats.

(36,317 posts)There's no chance of flipping my home district from red to blue but I will do what i can to increase our lead in the House.
I'll also consider donating to Janet Metsa who is running for state legislature as representative from the 110th state house district.

(6,115 posts)With the new district maps, we have a fighting chance at regaining the General Assembly. Even being able to sustain Cooper's vetoes this past year and a half has made a huge difference.
