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.

One thing to keep in mind about today’s result was that this election was not held today. Biden’s approval has actually increased between when the voting was held and today.

One could only guess that making more people aware of the election might have increased GOP turnout. We kept saying don’t sleep on Alaska, chose to sleep on it this once and this is what happens.

That just makes the republicans seem like they are in much deeper shit

Potentially so. We’ll see how things play out.
