Last week I twote indignantly about how Dick Cheney's daughter is running unopposed for Congress in Wyoming, despite being a weak candidate, in a district Democrats almost won in 2006. I believe no race should go uncontested in 2018, let alone this onehttps://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/985663344387371009 …

It is my great pleasure to introduce Travis Helm, who just last week declared his candidacy in this race. Travis is an immigration attorney, a progressive Democrat, and unlike Cheney, he was born in Wyoming and has spent most of his life there.pic.twitter.com/CRkTtSecJq

Travis grew up on a sheep and cattle ranch, has worked construction, painted cars, and knows how to talk to people in his district. He's not afraid of a challenge, and believes Wyoming voters are tired of having a representative who doesn't even bother to visit her district.

I've set up a fundraising page called 'full court press', for candidates like Travis who are giving voters a choice in races that would otherwise go uncontested. Please help this proud Wyoming Democrat get the seed money he needs to start his campaign!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/full_court_press …

Travis's campaign against Liz Cheney has made the New York Times! Generous people have already given him $6,600 since last night to kickstart his campaign in a vast, tough district. Please spread the word—even small donations express solidarity! https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2018/05/02/us/ap-us-congress-helm.html …

My question now—what other House seats remain without a Democratic opponent?
