Hi team,

We're coming back to you with an update on the DCCC’s 2022 Frontline Program List. Today, we’re giving updates on two of our members from the midwest: Rep. Lauren Underwood (IL-14) and Rep. Sharice Davids (KS-03).

In a time when coordinated attacks on LGBTQ+ Americans' rights are being propagated by the right, the GOP is specifically targeting Congress's first LGBTQ+ Native American member in their redistricting efforts. As we mentioned previously, Rep. Davids faces a difficult reelection path under the Kansas GOP’s redistricting map that would split a key county between two congressional districts in an effort to weaken her electoral prospects.

The GOP is effectively trying to erase LGBTQ+ representation in Congress.

Meanwhile in Illinois, Rep. Lauren Underwood, the lone Democrat in her congressional race, picked up an additional Republican challenger, Kendall County Board Chairman Scott Gryder. This makes 5 total challengers in the race, including now Gryder, who is on record that he does not believe Trump instigated the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The GOP is investing a lot in these key races – and it’s critical we step up and back up our members during this crucial part of their respective races. Can you chip in whatever you can and support Rep. Davids and Rep. Underwood today and defend our razor-thin majority?

Thank you for your continued support,
