Countdown to Election Day

Tomorrow is Election Day, and the polls open in:

Are you ready?

Your vote is your voice and your power. Don’t let anyone take that power away from you. Vote.

A look at what the GOP has in store

Tomorrow’s election will have major consequences one way or another. Simply put – everything is on the ballot.

Republican leaders in Congress have clearly laid out their plans in recent weeks should they be allowed to retake the majority next year. Here’s a small menu of what they have in store for America, and it’s not good.

GOP’s Midterm Wish List:

Slash Social Security and Medicare
Accelerate the climate crisis by rolling back Biden’s climate provisions
More tax cuts for the rich
Further undermine voting rights and promote election deniers into positions of power
Pass a national abortion ban
Push for a federal “Don’t Say Gay” bill to attack LGBTQ+ rights
Stop the investigation into January 6th and Trump’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election
Promote QAnon-style conspiracy theories with frivolous congressional investigations

But we can stop them, John, if we keep the GOP out of power and elect bold progressives like our BNC candidates tomorrow.

With more progressives in Congress we can bolster the fight for universal healthcare, a Green New Deal, stronger unions, living wages, education for all, racial justice, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and so much more.

Brand New Congress is supporting some of the most consequential races of this election cycle. Our candidates are running to fill open seats and flip red seats with bold progressive fighters to join our BNC electeds in Congress.

Help Brand New Congress get our candidates across the finish line tomorrow AND build our capacity to elect even more bold progressives in 2024.

See where laws have changed.” Included is a graphic showing a map of the United States which indicates that 14 states have already banned abortion, another 7 states have bans that have been recently blocked by courts, 9 states have potential bans in the works, and only 21 states have laws explicitly protecting the right to an abortion.

What to watch for on Election Night

The biggest races to watch tomorrow will be:

U.S. Senate races to watch

Kentucky

Charles Booker faces Rand Paul to represent Kentucky. Paul is rated as one of the Top Ten LEAST popular Senators by the nonpartisan polling firm Morning Consult. Charles has built a powerful coalition “from the Hood to the Holler” made up of traditional Democratic voters, independents, and Republican voters frustrated by Paul’s obstructionist policies.

Pennsylvania

Polling is neck and neck in the Pennsylvania Senate race between John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz – but John is still ahead by 6 points among “definite voters” according to the latest polling. This race will likely be decided by mail-in ballots and it may take several days before we know the results.

U.S. House races to watch

California

Angélica Dueñas faces off against incumbent Tony Cárdenas once again to represent the San Fernando Valley. Following a recent scandal of racist commentary from a member of the L.A. City Council, some election watchers predict there may be an influence on the upcoming elections and give challengers an opening to win.

Katie Porter’s re-election bid to represent the newly drawn CA-45 was recently changed to a “toss-up” race. Despite the millions of dark money Republicans have spent to stop her, Katie maintains the advantage in this race as one of the most popular members of Congress with a strong organizing operation. BNC has every confidence in the congresswoman and we look forward to celebrating her re-election.

Tennessee

BNC’s Odessa Kelly is up against blatant voter suppression in her race to flip TN-07 and become the first openly gay Black woman elected to Congress. Odessa was recently featured by Good Morning America alongside BNC’s Becca Balint as LGBTQ+ candidates making history this year.

Texas

One of the closest races of this cycle is expected to be Michelle Vallejo’s bid to represent TX-15, whose pro-Trump Republican opponent has called for looser gun laws, strict abortion bans, and a crackdown at the border for this South Texas community.

With so many close races, and millions more Americans voting by mail, we may not know the results of some of these elections for days.
