It goes beyond which bills become law.
John,
Democrats hold the House majority by just a few seats. And because the sitting president’s party tends to lose more than two dozen seats in a midterm election, Democrats are playing more defense than offense. Here’s what Katie says is at stake:
- If we lose the Democratic majority, we lose the ability to oversee and administer the programs we plan to create this year. We need to hold our majority so pieces of Biden’s agenda are successfully implemented and people are able to utilize programs we create.
- If we lose the Democratic majority, corporate PAC money makes a comeback. In 2018, many of the newly elected Democrats were some of the first to reject corporate PAC money. It was a pledge that really shook up Washington, but the number of members who don’t accept corporate PAC dollars is dwindling, and many of them, including Katie, are most at risk in 2022.
- If we lose the Democratic majority, it will be much harder to fight for families—with a Republican majority we won’t be able to pass legislation that will protect our environment, lower the cost of healthcare, or address the high cost of childcare. Republicans will likely reverse the progress we’ve made.
Katie’s race is key to the House majority, and in a district with an equal number of Democrats and Republicans we'll have to work hard to win. Can you contribute $22 to help us win in ‘22?
