Second is, the FEC site is a fantastic resource, and the people who work on it and make it should be proud. District pages like this one are a good starting point for digging in:https://www.fec.gov/data/elections/house/IA/04/2018/ …
Third, some of these incumbents are so complacent they're not bothering to raise money. LaMalfa hides from his own constituents at town halls; Steve King is one of the most hated men in Congress. But they think they're untouchable
Fourth, and most important—these candidates have simply enormous resources, thanks to corporate PACs and right-wing donor networks. To beat them will take serious organization, done early and right, to give the people a voice in those districts.
We can't match Republican money. But they won't be able to match real, grassroots organizing for change in their districts, if we give it resources. We simply have to get enough money into those races to fight on even ground against PAC fortunes.
So please, take a moment and contribute to the Great Slate right now, before the year is out. Small or big, any contribution is a gesture of solidarity to candidates fighting hard in districts we can and must win!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …
If you can afford to max out to these candidates—some of you can!—there is no better place to put your money right now to help make political change happen next year. If you can't give, then you know someone who can. Let's push to get big numbers by 12/31!
You mean the D primary isn't contested, or what?
Neither has incumbents running for re-election in 2018. Current NM02 rep is running for NM Gov; PA15’s Dent is retiring.
