We’ve now seen in both Arizona and Georgia, states that had four Republican Senators after 2016, have now completely flipped in 2022 — in addition to winning the Arizona governorship. Why? Quality candidates who care and who get results. That matters.

I have spent a lot of time in Nevada watching the Democratic Party grow. If you want to keep tabs on the Nevada Senate race and all things Nevada, Jon Ralston is one of the most reliable sources. There is a real pathway for to win that race!

Four years ago, Dems flipped 7 gov seats from red to blue, the most since 1982. Many Rs predicted that they would return the favor in 2022. Hmmmm. All 7 Dem incumbents have won re-election, or appear poised to do so. Two more have flipped, and Arizona may make three. BFD

On the eve of the #MidtermElections, I’ve been reflecting on my recent travels across the country. Despite the discouraging discourse of some national pundits, in both small communities and large cities, I've seen incredible Democratic enthusiasm up and down the ballot.

As Co-Chair @TomPerez points out, Republicans voted against allowing Medicare to negotiate lower Rx prices. They rejected @POTUS' policies behind America's surge in manufacturing. And they've nominated out-of-touch clowns in elections across the country.

In Kansas we saw Democrats, Independents, and, yes, Republicans coming together to define what freedom means. This was the first post-Roe test—it won't be the last. Voters across the country overwhelmingly support protecting abortion rights. Kansas will just be the beginning.
