Our statement on the 7th Congressional District special election.
The GOP margin appears to have shrunk by at least 7 points relative to 2016 (and 2018, and 2014)—despite a huge push by Team Trump.
Tricia Zunker ran a terrific campaign. And the GOP should be deeply nervous.

Here's the statement by Tricia Zunker herself on tonight's results—pointing out that no Democrat has gotten over 40% of the vote in this district since 2012. This race "showed that Wisconsin is trending blue for the fall."
GOP margins in 7th Congressional District House races: a recent history.
2014: 19.9% (59.3 v 39.4)
2016: 23.4% (61.7 v 38.3)
2018: 21.6% (38.5 v 60.1)
Tonight: 14.4% (57.2 v 42.8)—as of 10:02 PM CT.
I'd be perfectly happy with a 5% blue swing this fall, thanks
