Dem #110, overall #111 -->

The official announcement:

Rep. Serrano becomes Dem #111 to back an impeachment inquiry. He’s the third of the day.

Dem #112 backs an impeachment innquiry:

Dem #113 and a big one: Rep. Jennifer Wexton, frmo a tough swing district.

Wexton is from the VA district previously held by Republican Rep. Barbara Comstock. She's one of a small group of other Dem freshmen who won GOP-held districts to call for an inquiry

The others: Porter, Mike Levin, Rouda, Casten, Malinowski, Pappas, Mucarsel-Powell, Schrier.

ANOTHER BIG ONE: Rep. Engel backs an impeachment inquiry. He’s one of the six chairmen Pelosi tasked with investigating Trump. Dem #114

That means two of the six — Engel and Waters — are publicly advocating for an impeachment inquiry. And Nadler has privately advocated. The others are Schiff, Neal and Cummings.

Engel is also an outsize voice in the NY delegation, which includes a few Dems who haven’t backed an inquiry yet — including Reps. Jeffries, Lowey and Meeks.

DEM #115 is another swing district freshman. Rep. Jason Crow: medium.com/@Rep.JasonCrow…
