Our final week to take back the House
We've got one week until Election Day. That means, just seven days left to:
- Reach as many Massachusetts voters as possible about the candidates and ballot initiatives up and down our ballots.
- Defend the 214 Democrats currently in the House, including 11 toss-ups (meaning they are anybody's guess whether they'll go Red or Blue).
- Get out the vote for the Harris-Walz campaign and combat the disinformation and fear-mongering by the Trump machine.
That's a lot for a week.
Jim, the rest of Team McGovern, and I are on the ground here in Massachusetts's second district as well as working to ensure the Harris campaign has the people-power they need in critical states. But with so much at stake this year, we cannot lose focus on reclaiming control of the House.
Right now, all 435 House seats are on the ballot — but only a few of those seats are the competitive, pivotal races that will determine whether we secure the majority in the House. The path to victory is narrow — I'm talking five seats here.
We need to target our attention on some key races. Last week Jim wrote to you to highlight four critical races that need our support: Mondaire Jones, Mary Peltola, Gabe Vasquez, and Nikki Budzinski.
These seats are instrumental in regaining control of the House and ensuring we have the votes needed to restore reproductive freedom, tackle the climate crisis head-on, and end the obscene tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
Let's make these final few days count.
