1. Special election next week in Montana, May 25th. Make calls for Rob Quist running for the at large Congressional District in Montana.
Though Hillary lost the state by 20 points, Quist's opponent Greg Gianforte lost to a Democrat in the 2016 race for governor. Quist is now single digits away from victory against an billionaire New Jersey opponent whose recent vote would knock 70,000 Montanans off health care.
2. Special Election Run-off in Georgia C.D. 6 on June 20th. Call or canvass for Jon Ossoff in Georgia. Early voting is happening now.
The race is tied! As head of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Karen Handel, Ossoff's opponent, defunded Planned Parenthood: http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/karen-handel-jon-ossoff-planned-parenthood-ad
3. Special election in South Carolina 5th CD on June 20. Call or canvass for Archie Parnell in South Carolina.
One reason that 2012 gave the Democrats a closer race was that 28.1 percent of the district's residents, and a smaller percentage of its voters, are black. South Carolina Democrats, without overselling their chances, are universal on one point: If Parnell can make the electorate resemble 2012, using health care as an issue, he is in the hunt. Help Parnell turn out all Democratic voters.
Official Archie Parnell website.
C'mon, folks. Give as you can. $5 per candidate will do. Work as you can, by phone or in person. And reach out to folks you know in these CDs or who will help. If you live in these areas, vote and get out the vote.
Our activism will make the difference and give us a good start toward taking back the House in 2018. Share this, with everyone you know.
