John, the unthinkable has happened: we lost a swing district in solid-blue California.

We were forecasted to win this special election -- but Republicans fought harder than ever, and now their momentum is surging -- look at this!
![The Hill: 'I thought this was a 50-50 chance [for a Republican House takeover]... but I'm starting to believe that our chances are much better than 50 percent' -- National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman](https://go.holdthehouse.org/page/-/HTH_052620_TakeOver.jpg)
If Republicans win the House, we lose EVERYTHING -- the House is the only branch of our government fighting to secure our healthcare, equal rights, and checks & balances. Republicans are eager to wreck the progress House Democrats have worked so hard to accomplish!
But here’s the good news: Polls indicate that Frontline Democrats can still Hold the House -- IF they have the resources to fight back.
Republicans are already getting smug about beating our Frontliners:
![The Hill: 'That [was] one of the longer-shot races... There are a lot of other races that are much more likely to flip from Democrat to Republican.' -- Republican House Minority Whip](https://go.holdthehouse.org/page/-/HTH_052620_LongShot.jpg)
But when they get cocky, we get to work.
Democrats’ stunning loss in the special election proves that we CANNOT take the House for granted -- if we don’t come together right now, we could lose critical House seats across the country.
We know for a fact they’re coming to attack our House Heroes -- the only question is how well we’ll defend them.
Together,
Hold the House
