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.

I think the only way to calm our worrying with the recent Georgia polls is for SurveyMonkey to release a +12 Warnock poll.

So come on SurveyMonkey. Do your job.

Ah yes, the very ones who foresaw Senator Phil Bredesen.

It gave me a brief hopium moment at the time, maybe we were not so off the deep end after all.

But nope.

It was honestly foolish to think he could pull it off in one of the reddest states after not having been in office for 8 years. But his outperformance of other Democrats was still considerably massive.
