PFAW Member --
PFAW's Take Back the Senate Fund has added THREE critical targets to our
list of top 2020 Senate races:
[ [link removed] ]new targets -- Daines, Perdue, Loeffler
Shifting dynamics in the states of these right-wing Republicans have made
their races more competitive. These stalwart Trump allies join our other
top Republican targets: Susan Collins, Martha McSally, Cory Gardner, Joni
Ernst, and Thom Tillis and they are just as deserving of getting voted out
of office as our original top-tier targets.

U.S. Senate!>>
Mitch McConnell's Republican Senate Majority has:
→ STOLEN a seat on the US Supreme Court for Donald Trump (remember Merrick
Garland??)
→ JAM-PACKED our courts with extreme, biased, and unqualified Trump judicial
nominees...
→ BLOCKED vital reforms to protect our elections and reduce government
corruption...
→ OBSTRUCTED efforts to get to the truth about Russian election interference and
hold Trump's team accountable for a growing list of lawless and corrupt acts...

A bit about our new targets:
GEORGIA: Both of Georgia's Republican U.S. Senators are up for election
this year. David Perdue has been a loyal Trump enabler and Kelly Loeffler,
who was appointed to the seat following the previous incumbent's
retirement, recently came under fire for shady stock sales which look like
possible profiteering off of inside information she had about the
coronavirus pandemic based on her position as senator.
MONTANA: Far-right Sen. Steve Daines has been an enthusiastic foot soldier
in Trump and McConnell's assault on our federal courts and has been part
of the Republican cover-up of Trump's misdeeds at every turn. The recent
entry of popular Democratic Governor Steve Bullock in the Senate race has
made this deep-red state race competitive!
Other top targets:
MAINE: Phony ‘moderate’ Susan Collins has built her political career
claiming to be pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ equality, and pro-environment – she
even now claims to be pro-health care – but she has provided what many
consider to be decisive votes on dozens of unfit and extreme right-wing
Trump judicial nominees (including Supreme Court Justice Brett
Kavanaugh!).
All the abortion bans being passed in states across the country meant to
provide the Far Right with their chance to overturn Roe v. Wade stem from
the confirmations of Supreme Court Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh – and
Collins’s difference-making support for those Trump nominees.
ARIZONA: Trump Republican Martha McSally -- who has been a consistent
rubber stamp on Trump's awful judicial nominees – actually LOST her last
bid for an Arizona U.S. Senate seat, but was appointed by the Republican
governor to fill the seat left vacant by the death of John McCain.
McSally is now trailing Democrat Mark Kelly -- the former astronaut,
husband of former-Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, and presumptive Democratic
nominee for this seat -- in the polls!
COLORADO: Cory Gardner is considered by many to be the most vulnerable
Republican up for reelection in 2020. He is trying to run as a moderate,
but his staunch support for Trump’s policies, nominees, and corrupt
efforts to undermine our democracy make his seat ripe for the taking –
especially considering that Gardner only won his last election by fewer
than 40,000 votes (just 2 percent).
IOWA: Trump Republican Joni Ernst, who ran for Senate as an extreme
right-wing darling of the Tea Party, has supported Trump’s agenda of hate
and division at every turn – despite being from a state that went for
President Obama twice.
While Iowa’s support for Trump in 2016 and Ernst’s incumbency give her a
natural advantage heading into the election, Democrats flipped two
GOP-held congressional seats in Iowa in the midterms and Trump's approval
ratings have tanked as his trade policies have put a pinch on farmers in
the state.
NORTH CAROLINA: Thom Tillis is the Koch brothers' favorite senator. Along
with other right-wing corporate Big Money powerhouses, they've invested
heavily in Tillis since he was a state lawmaker. In the U.S. Senate,
Tillis has joined his fellow Republican senators in marching in lockstep
to advance the extreme Trump-McConnell agenda on the federal judiciary and
in every other area. President Obama carried North Carolina in 2008 and
the state is showing some positive trends for Democrats.

We’ll be mobilizing the progressive vote in these states in so many ways,
including new and innovative, data-driven, targeted approaches to reaching
the key voters needed to win these elections.
We’re running ads, mailers, and more to reach Latino voters. We’re working
to turn out young voters. And we’ll work to build an army of progressive
volunteers to be the largest grassroots movement of active volunteers in
any election in history.
But every voter conversation and communication costs money – whether they
are happening through door-knocking, phone calls, text messages, letters
and post cards, paid ads, or social media.
