Some sad news to pass on to you today as Conservative Republican Congressman Ted Yoho announced he will not be seeking another term in Congress - as part of his pledge not to become a career politician 'swamp' creature.
Yoho's announcement that he will resign from Congress marks the 27th Republican to announce he/she will not seek re-election. This presents a significant challenge in our campaign to Take Back The House - and this increases the importance of our efforts to win the several Special Elections for Congress that are about to take place.
Besides the 5 upcoming Special Elections for Congress that will take place over the course of the coming weeks, we have 100+ congressional election battles across the country that will decide who will hold the majority in the House of Representatives.
Here is a review of some of the congressional seats we lost in 2018 by the narrowest margins, and that represent the best opportunities for us to 'flip' the requisite 18 congressional races we need to reclaim the majority.
* Utah 4th Congressional District - Lost by 0.26%
* Pennsylvania 15th Congressional District - Lost by 0.28%
* California's 21st Congressional District - Lost by 0.76%
