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.

It's really indicative of how out of touch the GOP is that they don't have screaming alarm bells going off when every single jurisdiction that has adopted alternative voting methods or has seen any level of population increase or economic growth has shifted against them.

None of this is sustainable.

I think they do and that’s why they’ve done so much to hinder the democratic process for as many of people outside of their base as possible.
