Dear Friend,
Thank you for all you are doing to help elect Democrats this November. We are in the final stretch, and all across the country, our candidates are hitting the ground and talking to voters about how we will work for the American people when we win a Democratic majority in the House. Despite their hard work, many of our most important races are facing dark-money Republican Super PACs pouring millions of dollars into their districts.
The DCCC Red Alert program is highlighting 10 Frontline Members and Red to Blue candidates in the most competitive districts in the country. Early voting has already begun in some states, so in order to share their message before voters begin casting their ballots, these candidates need your help.
These candidates are running in the toughest districts where your support will have an immediate impact.
DCCC Red Alert Round #3
Frontline Members:
Hon. Mary Peltola (AK-AL)
Hon. Jahana Hayes (CT-05)
Hon. Frank Mrvan (IN-01)
Hon. Jared Golden (ME-02)
Hon. Gabe Vasquez (NM-02)
Hon. Marcy Kaptur (OH-09)
Red to Blue Candidates:
Adam Gray (CA-13)
April McClain Delaney (MD-06)
Tony Vargas (NE-02)
Rebecca Cooke (WI-03)
April McClain Delaney (MD-06) is running in an open-seat that the NRCC has made clear they are targeting after putting her opponent on their “Young Guns” priority list. As a state legislator, her opponent opposed a law making spousal rape harder to prosecute, repeatedly voted to criminalize abortion, and co-sponsored legislation to ban same-sex marriage.
Republicans are working overtime to defeat
Hon. Mary Peltola (AK-AL) and H
on. Frank Mrvan (IN-01). They have spent over $1 million in Alaska in the last three weeks alone, and Speaker Johnson and founding Freedom Caucus Chair Jim Jordan have both visited Indiana to boost Mrvan’s opponent.
Republican Super PACs continue spending BIG against
Adam Gray (CA-13),
Hon. Jared Golden (ME-02), and
Hon. Gabe Vasquez (NM-02). They are committed to spending millions to win these seats, and our candidates need every dollar to fight the MAGA noise and attacks.
Hon. Jahana Hayes (CT-05) and
Hon. Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) are beloved pillars of their communities who serve the best interests of their constituents in Congress, but the NRCC is blanketing the airwaves with lies in an effort to buy these seats and replace Hayes and Kaptur with anti-choice extremists.
In 2022,
Tony Vargas (NE-02) lost his race by less than 3%, and this seat could be critical for the presidential election as its singular Electoral College vote could be the difference in November.
Rebecca Cooke (WI-03) emerged from the August primary as a strong contender to take on Republican extremist Derrick Van Orden, and the latest public polling shows her leading by two points. She can win if she has the resources to communicate her message now through Election Day.
These Red Alert candidates are working hard in their districts to reach voters on the airwaves, at the doors, through phone calling and text banking. They need additional resources to fight against extreme MAGA attacks and get out the vote on Election Day.
I am asking YOU to contribute today to these 10 House Democratic candidates that will have the closest races in the nation, so we can take back the House Majority this November.
We need your help to ensure these campaigns have the resources to win on November 5th.
Thank you for all you do to help House Democrats. Together, we can take back the House Majority, and continue our fight to improve the lives of all Americans.
Be well,
Dr. Ami Bera
