Dear friend,
Thank you for all of your support of House Democrats. Election Day is only one week away, and we are so close to crossing the finish line. House Democratic candidates have been on the ground putting in the work so we can take back the House Majority. We only need to flip four seats and hold the districts our Frontline Members represent. The path to retaking the gavel runs through these competitive districts, and they need your help.
In this final stretch, The DCCC Red Alert Program is focused on supporting candidates in the closest races in the country where your contributions will help make a meaningful difference for campaigns in their final efforts.
DCCC Red Alert Round #5
Red to Blue Candidates:
Amish Shah (AZ-01)
Rudy Salas (CA-22)
Derek Tran (CA-45)
Christina Bohannan (IA-01)
Lanon Baccam (IA-03)
Tony Vargas (NE-02)
Josh Riley (NY-19)
John Mannion (NY-22)
Janelle Bynum (OR-05)
Janelle Stelson (PA-10)
Missy Cotter Smasal (VA-02)
These Red Alert candidates need your help to cross the finish line strong. They are facing critical funding decisions in these final days, and every dollar helps get their message out to voters. They are up against extremist MAGA Republicans and dark money pouring into their districts.
Rudy Salas (CA-22), Christina Bohannan (IA-01) and Lanon Baccam (IA-03) are working hard in their districts to ensure they are on the winning end of what will be tight races. Last cycle Rudy lost by just over 3,000 votes, and IA-01 and IA-03 were two of the closest races in the country, being decided by just 6 votes and less than 1% respectively. They can’t take anything for granted in the home stretch!
Amish Shah’s (AZ-01) opponent barely squeaked by in 2022, despite the expected red wave, winning by fewer than 3,200 votes. This cycle, polling shows this Biden district is tied and Amish takes a lead after voters hear his message.
Tony Vargas is running in NE-02, a critical seat for the presidential election as its singular Electoral College vote could be the difference in November.
These New York candidates need your help to flip their seats – Josh Riley (NY-19) and John Mannion (NY-22) are running formidable campaigns in winnable districts.
These candidates are running in the toughest districts where your support will have an immediate impact.
Janelle Stelson (PA-10) is facing an onslaught of outside spending in the final week. Her campaign is competing with Club for Growth and the NRCC for airtime and she needs your help to get closer to parity in these last days.
Republicans are spending MILLIONS against Derek Tran (CA-45) and Janelle Bynum (OR-05). They have dumped over $14 million in Tran’s district, and are prepared to spend over $11 million against Janelle. These campaigns need help in the home stretch to hold their Republican opponents accountable and flip these seats blue!
Missy Cotter Smasal (VA-02) is a veteran and small business owner running against extremist Jen Kiggans who calls Marjorie Taylor Greene her “teammate”. Missy is gaining momentum in this district Democrats have won in the past, and needs your help in the final push.
I am asking YOU to contribute today to these 10 House Democratic candidates that have the tightest races in the nation. They need your help to get their message out to voters before Election Day. With your support 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 continue our fight to improve the lives of all Americans.
All the best,
Seth
