Special elections this year

Everyone is excited about 2018, but there are several special elections THIS year, and the Dem candidates could use all the help they can get. We all know about Ossoff in Georgia,but there are others as well. We need to fight for every seat, no matter how red it is. A great Dem campaign, even in a red district, can motivate Democratic voters and leaners who might stay active and elect Dems in local races as well.

Montana: Rob Quist is running in the state's single Congressional district. link:http://robquist.org|

Kansas 4th District: Jim Thompson is running, and he could use some support, since the Kansas state Democratic party has rejected his request for $20,000 to help with mailers. What the hell, Kansas Dem party?!?! link:http://www.votejamesthompson.com|

South Carolina's 5th District: Primary on May 2.

Let's keep these races in mind!!
