Billings attorney John Heenan (D) is running against Gianforte

[Dr. Arch]

Good recruit or?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I doubt dems can beat him now, but I pray to God that someone primaries this illegitimate jerk out.

[Holmes]

Billings attorney John Heenan (D) is running against Gianforte

Good recruit or?

He's not a politician and has never been a candidate, so tbd. But his top issue will be health care, followed by campaign finance reform, which is much better than Quist's public lands obsession. Still, who knows how well he'll fundraise and campaign.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I have heard whispers about Sinema announcing a run vs Flake within the next few weeks, and Greg Stanton then announcing a bid for Kyrsten Sinema's current seat.

Not in Montana, it isn't. And Quist was very adamant about health care.

Boyda won this seat in 2006 and I think Davis is a much stronger candidate. Plus it's an open seat, which bodes well.

Also I think Davis won this district in 2014 gubernatorial, or at least was very close. Especially considering that it's Brownback's home district.

Honestly more Democrats should take up this strategy.

I dunno. I don't have an opinion one way or another, but if too many say that, then Democrats win a narrow majority and Pelosi needs their votes to become Speaker, you're looking at maybe Paul Ryan getting the most votes to become Speaker and we're all screwed again.

If there's that many votes to threaten Paul Ryan being speaker then former Pelosi voters should just jump ship. This is where having a good whip count would help a lot.

Its a good way to win grassroots, but I don't see it as a good way to get $$$$$

At a certain point just who gives a f*** about money if we can't win seats.

I meant it in the sense that big donors and the DCCC won't dump money into this race if Davis is against the leadership,which will make his victory harder.

[Cactus Jack]

I think it's official: Bryce, McGrath, and Ortiz-Jones are my favorite candidates this cycle.

More likely if enough Democrats get elected running on the promise to not vote for Pelosi, the pressure for her to step down will be to much for even her to bear.

[BuckeyeNut]

Stivers to be challenged by a former international aid worker. Unfortunately, I think Stivers is safe outside of a truly massive wave, but glad to see someone new challenging him. I was worried OH-15 was going down the route of OH-04.

Quinnipiac

House: 50 D, 40 R (was 52/4838 on Aug 3)

Senate: 51 D, 41 R (was 53/39)

[Heisenberg]

ID-01: Malek in.

I desperately want Randy Bryce to win.

That would be an 18 point swing in PA. Dems can maybe pick up 3 or so seats. Same in Michigan, a 15 point swing could net Democrats 2 or 3 seats.
