Where we need to be

Hi John, 2022 is off to a great start — but we’re still a bit behind where we need to be in order to stay on track in January. Hitting our goal this month means not having to cut back in the months ahead. With so much at stake and the election heating up, we need to be doing everything we can to…

Just five seats

Just five seats stand between us and a GOP takeover of the House. Just five of the Democrats representing districts that went for Trump in 2020 are seeking re-election. The Republican’s campaign arm already knows that redistricting is giving them a net advantage heading into 2022. So now they’re h…

This time it would likely be much worse. As experts ponder the chances of Republicans taking back the House in 2022, they’re looking at what kinds of tactics and priorities a red House would take up in 2023 should they take back the chamber. As The Washington Post reports: "Conser…
