Leslie Cockburn came within 7 in 2018 and she wasn’t a very good candidate. Here are the possible Democrats - the primary is June 23.

In order to gain 25 seats, Republicans would need to win 88% of ALL the races currently rated as competitive by Inside Elections.

Bourdeaux and Republican Rich McCormick won their contested primaries for Georgia’s 7th District yesterday.
Total Democratic votes so far: more than 50,000.
Total Republican votes so far: less than 35,000.

Yup - Peachtree Corners, Cumming, Snellville etc. The Republicans have held it since they won the House in 94.
