[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-10-20 Below the fold are links to every diary I have written, as well as the names of candidates I have still yet to publish an article about. I have organized them in order by state and district in ABC order. Hopefully this will make it easier to find the district you are interested in! This is an extraordinarily long diary. It is a culmination of all of the work I have put in over the last year. I would recommend reading the information before the fold, as this is where you can take action to help out in winning control of the House of Representatives, as well as keeping the Senate. Without further ado, let’s look at the races that are most critical in both the House and Senate. House of Representatives Each of these races helps us win back the House of Representatives. I’ve tried to include links to as many as possible base upon their needs. There shouldn’t be any duplicates in any of the three categories below except for Texas’ 15th district. Key House Races These races will likely determine control of the House of Representatives. All of them are tossup races. They need volunteers and more donations in order to win. We need to sweep MOST of the races listed to win back the House! Click on their name to go to their campaign website to either donate or volunteer. House Races Needing Donations These 10 campaigns are running on fumes right now and could use some last minute donations. Each one may be critical to our chances of taking over the House, but it won’t happen if these races don’t get more funding soon! Click on their name to donate to them — they truly need the cash for the home stretch! Jessica Morse (CA-03) is running an uphill battle in a district Trump won near Sacramento, CA. She isn’t even on the Red to Blue list for some inexplicable reason. Morse has spent most of what she has raised and needs more than the $446k she has remaining.

He hasn’t caught fire with donors and has been chronically underfunded. If we want to contest this district Biden barely won Kerr will need more than $400k to do it.

He has quite a bit of money and support but his coffers have dipped below what is necessary for him to contest the district in the final weeks. He has around $957k which seems like a lot but LA is expensive. (CA-45) is in a tossup race in Orange County, CA.

He’s got some issues but nothing a good persuasion campaign cannot cure. He’s only got $916k in an expensive media market to do that though.

She finally raised a significant amount of funds in Q3 but is still playing catch-up. This St. Petersburg district is able to flip but only if she has more than the $807k she has.

Polls have shown her behind but within striking distance. Since national orgs aren’t helping her, we have to help her across the finish line. She has $1.4M but that won’t be enough.

Michelle Vallejo (TX-15) is running a credible race in the Rio Grande Valley but has exhausted everything that she has raised in an effort to win. If we’re serious about winning Texas we need an improved performance in this district. She has $185k remaining.

Missy Cotter Smasal (VA-02) is currently being propped up by the DCCC because her fundraising hasn’t been up to snuff. She’s contesting a Biden-won district in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia.

Peter Barca (WI-01) has raised quite a bit but has spent it all trying to soften the incumbent in southeastern Wisconsin. He’s in dire need of more donations because he’s out of money and the DCCC isn’t helping. Barca has only $98k to his campaign name right now.

She’s used up quite a bit of what she has raised cash wise and will need more for the final stretch. She has $660k which is decent but we could push it higher. House Races Needing Volunteers I have selected critical races where poor turnout or the need for persuasion has harmed us in the past. It is critical that we get volunteers to these races to have a fighting chance. All of them have the cash to win — they just need the boots on the ground. Click on their name to volunteer for them. Central Valley, CA — This part of California tends to have poor turnout even in Presidential years. Demographics suggest our voters are there but don’t turn in their ballots. Rep. Josh Harder (CA-09), Adam Gray (CA-13), and Rudy Salas (CA-22) will need help turning out votes. — This part of California tends to have poor turnout even in Presidential years.

Antelope Valley/Santa Clarita, CA — This area north of Los Angeles hosts a highly competitive race where our voters don’t turn out.

What he needs are volunteers to persuade moderates in the DC area to keep voting for Democrats. It’s an important seat to keep on our side! US Senate 13 Races to Decide the Senate The Senate sits on a knife’s edge. Stray but a little and we lose the ability to appoint competent Cabinet positions and judicial nominations. This list is in order of likelihood of flipping — I have not and will not link to the lost cause known as the West Virginia Senate race. These links will take you to their campaign websites where you can volunteer and donate.
