2018 Congressional Recruitment/Fundraising/Ratings Megathread

In AZ Senate, Jeff Flake is in a losing position. If Gabby Giffords health can handle it, she'd crush him brutally. He has an 18% approval rating. It's not even a toss up at this point.

Giffords will never run for anything ever again.
[/quote] eh. She's a natural politician. You can't keep them out of the arena for long. Synema or Janet Napolitano are solid if you're right

I recall back in May that Michael Hein said he would announce by the end of July if he runs aganist Faso. Anyone got updates on that?

. Based on trump approval ratings in NY, Teachout could kill him in a rematch

Giffords is physically incapable of running a campaign, and most likely not mentally fit to serve. I don't think you grasp how badly she was injured.

She's made MASSIVE progress since the shooting. She learned how to talk in a couple of years, I'm not saying she WILL be up for it, I'm saying let's see where she's at decision time.

What are your thoughts on NE-2? Brad Ashford lost by a pretty narrow margin in 2016 and if there's a wave, NE-2 could be one of the first to go I think.

NH-1 is also one to watch. Chris Pappas is a top tier recruit. But the GOP has a couple of moderately strong candidates. If Guinta doesn’t run again, I’d give a tiny advantage to Dems. Pappas has resources, connections and name recognition. It could go either way though. It is R +2 though I think on the cook PVI

Does Blanco have a chance at statewide office in LA again?

Bryce's whole union worker but also national democratic leader thing is a little gimmicky. I still like him as a person and as a candidate, it's just how he's choosing to run his campaign.

I just did some high-quality stalking, Jason Kander has two houses. One in Vicki Hartzler's  district and a smaller one in Emmanuel Cleaver's district. Gearing up for a house bid? I still maintain that he's democrats best bet in MO even though people think he's too liberal now. He's young attractive, likable and who cares if he's a national politician? Outside money and support would help big time as long as we aren't as loud and brash about it as we were with GA-6. A term or two in the house and he's a shoo-in for Roy Blunt's seat or the governor's mansion

David Pepper for OH-1?
