The 14 Key Races To Reclaim the House

Which races will let Democrats reclaim the House?

“Of the 435 seats in the House, 218 are held by Republicans, 213 are held by Democrats.  Four seats are vacant. Three of the vacant seats were held by Republicans, one was held by a Democrat.  For general elections purposes think: 221 – 214.  To erase a difference of seven seats, all other things being equal, you have to flip four seats.” — Len’s Political Notes

Len’s Political Notes

Marching isn’t enough. The antidote to the election of Donald Trump is the election of Democrats. In the US House and Senate. Governors. State legislators. Judges.

Len Lubinsky’s weapon of choice was his laptop. He starting writing to encourage friends to give money to Democratic candidates. February 7, 2017. He began. He is still writing Notes to friends and relatives, friends of friends and relatives, acquaintances, people who have asked to be on the mailing list. He has added Letters that are a little like essays.

Len’s Notes and Letters remains true to the original purpose. Len urges people to provide financial support to Democratic candidates. Candidates for whom additional resources could make the difference between winning and losing.” — Len’s Political Notes

Taylor Swift. Vote.
