Friends – Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama, Joe Biden,
Kamala Harris and so many others have sounded the alarm: This is the most
important election for women’s rights in our lifetimes.
[ [link removed] ]Republicans are just four House seats and a single Senate seat away
from advancing a national abortion ban that will affect all 50 states,
including states that have passed laws or amended their Constitutions to
defend access to reproductive care.
Sen. Mark Kelly (AZ-Sen), Eric Sorensen (IL-17), Jamie McLeod-Skinner
(OR-05), Dr. Yadira Caraveo (CO-08), and Tony Vargas (NE-02) are 5
Democrats running in 5 of the only toss-up races in the country and
control of Congress hinges on them winning.

be split evenly between them and the money goes directly to their
campaigns when they need it most.
[ [link removed] ]Why is it so important to support them right now? Because new polling
shows Republicans winning ALL 5 of these races by just 1-2% if the
election were held today. That’s why we’re asking if you’ll consider
donating as little as $5 so we can win the 5 seats that could decide
control of Congress.

[ Captain ]Captain Mark KellyMark Kelly (AZ-Senate) - Captain Mark Kelly is a
retired U.S. Navy combat pilot, engineer and NASA astronaut, and Senator
for Arizona.
As a Senator, Mark has championed gun safety legislation and has been
fearlessly pro-choice and pro-science since day one. His opponent, Blake
Masters, is a Trump-endorsed extremist that supports a national ban on
abortions, believes that same-sex marriage is “Pointless,” and wants to
privatize social security.
Mark Kelly is considered one of the most vulnerable Democratic Senators in
the 2022 election. And if the election were held today, polling shows
Republicans would DEFEAT Mark Kelly and flip the Senate to GOP control.

[ Eric ]Eric SorensenEric Sorensen (IL-17) – Eric Sorensen is a widely
respected meteorologist who has been the go-to weatherman for his area for
more than two decades. If elected, Eric would be the first meteorologist
in Congress and the second-ever climate expert.
At the beginning of his career, Eric was forced to leave his job after his
employer discovered he was gay and therefore in violation of his contract
according to them. Since then, Eric has made it a priority in his life to
advocate on behalf of and fight for vulnerable and marginalized
communities. And just this month, Republicans launched a disgusting
homophobic ad campaign against him arguing that LGBTQ+ individuals are not
fit for public office.
Illinois’ 17th Congressional District is an open Democratic-held seat that
Donald Trump carried in 2020 and Democrats defended by a razor-thin
margin. If we do not defend this seat, Democrats are not expected to
defend our House majority.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Jamie ]Jamie McLeod-SkinnerJamie McLeod-Skinner (OR-05) – Jamie McLeod-Skinner
has a background in civil engineering, is an emergency response
coordinator who led regional wildfire recovery efforts in Oregon, and has
a law degree that specializes in natural resource law.
Working and managing teams in refugee resettlement programs and wildlife
recovery efforts has given Jamie the first hand experience protecting
natural resources and tackling the impacts of the climate crisis. She has
managed million dollar aid programs and would be one of the few members of
Congress, if elected, who can speak to the on-the-ground impact climate
change has on local communities.
This is another open Democratic-held seat that is split 50-50 between
Democrats and Republicans and, like Eric’s race, has been rated as a
TOSS-UP that will decide control of Congress.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Dr. ]Dr. Yadira CaraveoDr. Yadira Caraveo (CO-08) – Dr. Yadira Caraveo is a
pediatrician, accomplished legislator, and successful community advocate.
Colorado has never elected a Latina to Federal office and Yadira, a local
pediatrician and state legislator who has become the go-to expert for
public health and healthcare related legislation in local Colorado
politics, is trying to change that.
As part of the redistricting process, Colorado lawmakers created a true
toss-up district: it’s split evenly 50-50 between Republicans and
Democrats and it’s an open seat. With several Democratic incumbents
retiring and GOP gerrymandering costing Democrats seats, we have to win
highly competitive toss-up districts like Colorado’s 8th if we’re going to
hold our historically narrow majority in the House.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Tony ]Tony VargasTony Vargas (NE-02) – Tony Vargas is a former science
teacher who won “Teacher of the Year” and got his start in politics by
running for and winning a seat on the Omaha Public Schools Board before
winning a seat in the Nebraska State Senate.
Tony’s now running for Congress in one of the only GOP-held House
districts that Joe Biden carried (by a wide margin in 2020!) making this
one of the best pickup opportunities for Democrats in the country.
His opponent supports making abortion illegal even in cases of rape and
incest which is part of the reason that a brand new poll showed Tony TIED
with vulnerable Rep. Don Bacon.
