2020 House of Representatives Thread

“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is adding six new targets to its 2020 battlefield, hoping to flip more Republican-held seats while protecting its House majority.

“Our record fundraising gives us the ability to push deeper into Republican territory and hold Republicans accountable for their attacks on working families’ health care,” DCCC Chairwoman Cheri Bustos said in a statement.

The DCCC announced it raised $125 million in 2019, its best-ever haul for an off year. Many freshman Democrats have reported raising large amounts in the recently ended fourth quarter of 2019, which could free up the committee to play in other races.”

House Democrats outraised House Republicans $125M to $85M in 2019, per NRCC's Tom Emmer. That's a HUGE disparity.

Past off-year fundraising, for context:
2011: DCCC beat NRCC by $7M
2013: DCCC beat NRCC by $15M
2015: NRCC beat DCCC by $1M
2017: DCCC beat NRCC by $20M
2019: DCCC beat NRCC by $40M

That is a good ad. Didn't even get to his DUIs. It would be really something to get Gaetz out.

I like her a bit but some of the stuff she does is just so so extra. Of course it is nice how much the gop fears her.
