We've zeroed in on a batch of House races that are mission-critical - not just for our efforts in 2020, but for 2022. Now is the moment to invest in these campaigns.

I'll explain in replies. Please read on, RT, and give what you can.

There are a lot of toss-up House races this cycle (almost 30) - both GOP-held and Dem-held seats.

Obviously it is critical that we hold the House. Odds are we will. But the *margin* by which we hold the House will be very consequential for our broader agenda. /2

Think ahead to 2022.

Let's assume we're successful this cycle and attain a blue trifecta in the House, Senate & WH. History tells us that we'll be due for huge losses in the House in 2022.

That can't happen. There's too much damage. We need 4 years of complete control.

Maximizing our House wins in 2020 - when we have the wind at our backs - is smart strategy. The bigger the margin we have this year, the harder it will be for the GOP to re-take the House in 2022.

This may not seem important now, but trust me - it will in 700 days.

We need to make smart investments in our future.

Most folks are rightfully focused on beating Trump & defeating McConnell.

But we ignore the House at our peril.

So - we took a look at the toss-up races in the House.

We cross-referenced the toss-up House races w/ other factors like winning the WH, Senate & state legislatures.

The results landed us with a group of TOP priority House races worthy of investment. If we drive up turnout in these districts, there are benefits up & down ballot.

The focus races for this fund:

@hiral4congress (AZ-06), @DebbieforFL (FL-26), @Abby4Iowa (IA-01), @RitaHartIA (IA-02), @Axne4Congress (IA-03), @KateForCongress (OH-01), @DePasqualePA (PA-10), @wendydavis (TX-21), @SriPKulkarni (TX-22), @candacefor24 (TX-24).

Please follow!

All of these races are toss-ups. Some are blue holds. Some are red-to-blue flips. All are important for our long-term agenda and overlap w/ important turnout goals up & down ballot in 2020.

We've done the homework for you & hope you'll invest.

Thanks.
