Beto is polling at 2%. He could beat Cornyn in TX.
Hickenlooper is polling at 1%. He could beat Gardner in CO.
Bullock is polling at 0%. He could beat Daines in MT.
Stacey Abrams isn’t even running. She could beat Perdue in GA.

We *need* the Senate in 2020.

I know the presidency is shiny, but the fact that quality candidates from red states are foregoing Senate runs is an issue.

That’s not to say having good candidates in the prez race isn’t important, but we need established Ds putting Rs on the offensive and spending their money.

I know that we have good candidates running in many of these races (like @mjhegar in TX), but the point here is that we've invested a LOT into the above candidates, donating to them and promoting them and increasing their name recognition. This all takes time. We gave it to them.

We’re asking that they return the favor, that they put the interests of the party ahead of personal ambitions so we can take the Senate, which is every bit as important as the presidency.

The future of the judiciary, SCOTUS, HR1, GND & M4A quite literally depend on it.
