Georgia’s election laws are a little silly. Here’s how we win:

Democrat Jon Ossoff has a slight lead over incumbent Republican David Perdue. John, For the first time in 28 years, Georgia is in play in a presidential election. And that’s not all! We have a chance to flip TWO U.S. Senate seats too. That could be the differenc…

We’re preparing for every scenario. Even a Contingent election.

John, With all of the electoral shenanigans that Donald Trump and his handpicked Supreme Court Justices are engaging in, we need to be prepared for everything. One of those nightmare scenarios is called a Contingent election―which is what happens when neither candida…

We have a chance to flip these two states that Trump won in 2016 and win two critical Senate seats

With each state that we pick off, that Trump won in 2016, his path to reelection becomes even more narrow. John, We need Democrats to re-take the Senate if we want a Biden administration to protect and expand Social Security, improve Medicare, or lower prescript…

No wonder Republicans are spending big to defeat her in Illinois’ 14th district. John, Republicans have it in for Lauren Underwood. Underwood is finishing her first term in Congress, after a career as a registered nurse and public health official. Since being s…
