We understand this is a challenging time, so please only donate if you can. Most importantly, take care of yourself and your loved ones during this difficult period in our nation's history.
I know there’s a lot of email flying around. Much of it crowds out what's happening on the ground, so we've gathered some fresh intel — straight from the field — to share with YOU on the fight to protect our House Majority.
We have 12 candidates running in the battleground states that could decide who wins the White House and the Senate (and potentially the White House, too). I reached out to their campaigns to ask for an update that we could share with our friends and supporters.
Bottom line: Early vote numbers look good for Democrats. But we still need to finish these last 14 days strong. Will you rush a donation to make sure we have the resources to finish this fight? Every little bit makes a difference. [[link removed]]
We’re two weeks from the most important election of our time. Our health, our rights, and our future are on the ballot. See below for an update on how it's going. You're going to like this.

Hiral Tipirneni (AZ-06) — Last quarter she had the most successful fundraising quarter in Arizona Congressional history, raising over $2.5 million. This seat was formerly a Republican stronghold, and now it’s rated as a “Toss Up". Voters in Arizona are returning mail ballots in record numbers with over 22% of ballots returned in the first 10 days.
Margaret Good (FL-16) — Margaret is statistically tied with her opponent according to the campaign's latest tracking poll. She outraised him more than 3 to 1 in the 3rd quarter and has raised more in the first two weeks of October than he did for the entire three months of July through September. Buchanan is also not self-funding at significant levels and Good has outspent him on television, digital, and mail. Vote by mail returns are very promising for Good. With more just more than 2 weeks out from the election, registered Democrats have cast 19,308 more ballots than registered Republicans.
Carolyn Bourdeaux (GA-07) — It’s down to the wire in this highly competitive district, nationally ranked as one of the most likely to flip parties in the country. All eyes are on Georgia's 7th — a district that also holds the key to flipping Georgia blue. The number of voters that have cast their ballots so far is already double where we were a week further into the 2018 cycle. People are fired up — despite having to wait upwards of 9 hours to vote in some places!The first day of early voting in Gwinnett County saw 8,700 voters compared to 1,400 in 2016.
Hillary Scholten (MI-03) — Hillary is a mom and civil rights attorney who has moved this race has from being "Lean Republican" to "Toss Up” according to Inside Elections.The latest polls show Hillary with a 2-point lead over her pro-Trump Republican opponent. With just over 2 weeks from the election, more than 205,000 voters had requested an absentee ballot in this district, and of those over 102,000 have already turned in their ballot. Of the returned ballots, nearly 57% are likely Democratic voters.
Kathy Manning (NC-06) — High Democratic performance in NC-06 is essential for Democrats to win statewide races in NC, so the campaign is working hard through Election Day to ensure that Kathy's message gets out and that all eligible voters have a plan to vote. Last Thursday, Oct 15, North Carolina set a new record for the most votes cast on the first day of early voting. As of the second day of early voting, more than 1 million North Carolinians voted already, including more than 60,000 in NC-06.
Kate Schroder (OH-01) — Momentum is on Kate's side — the latest polling shows her leading her opponent by a couple of points, CNN just named this seat one of the top 10 most flippable in the country, and The Washington Post ranked this race the single most competitive against a GOP incumbent. Kate also outraised her Republican opponent by nearly $1 million in the third quarter. Early voting is going strong in OH-01, which is made up of the Western Cincinnati area and a neighboring suburban county. With just over 2 weeks to go, 103,000 voters have cast their ballot in OH-01. The numbers are trending in the right direction, as most voters who have voted early are likely Democrats or Independents.
Eugene DePasquale (PA-10) — Eugene enters the last two weeks of the campaign with the momentum squarely on his side. Multiple publicly released polls show him in the lead and the campaign just filed the single largest quarter fundraising total in the history of the district. With the Congressional Leadership Fund and the National Republican Congressional Committee making significant investments against him in the final weeks of the race, Eugene will use these resources to maintain his strong position and continue to communicate with voters as they cast their ballot. In 2018, 291,000 voters cast ballots in PA-10. This year, with just over 2 weeks until Election Day, 150,000 mail-in ballots had been requested. Over 58% of those ballots were requested by Democrats.
