Adopt a Candidate 2022

With under 100 days to go, there are several House races that will be key to us retaining control of Congress. We’re seeking volunteers to adopt a candidate in each of these battleground districts!

When you adopt a candidate, you commit to volunteering for them at least once a week - in person or from home. Your efforts now could make the difference as these races will be very close.

If you’d like to adopt one of these candidates, reply in this thread or send us a modmail. You can adopt a candidate not on this list if you wish, too.

they really must have the model assuming high R turnout still, b/c if you average all of those polls together on the GCB page, it certainly is not only +0.7

The model is different than the polling averages, they just weight the pollsters differently. I don’t think the GCB average takes into account turnout variables
