Three districts we can flip

Friend,

The three districts listed below are represented by Members supportive of President Trump’s hawkish national security policies. But despite their victories, President Trump lost each district in 2016.

All three districts are among the most likely to flip to national security progressives and to check the power of President Trump.

  Arizona’s 2nd district can swing to progressives. President Trump lost this district by five percentage points. The candidate to capture the district is Ann Kirkpatrick (D) a former three-term representative with a history of supporting progressive national security issues. She’s currently running for an open seat, and is favored. 

 

President Trump lost Colorado’s 6th district by nine percentage points. Jason Crow (D) is the candidate who can win the district as a national security progressive. He is an Army veteran who has been an outspoken opponent of Trump’s national security policies. He’s running against a very vulnerable incumbent.
 

The biggest Trump loss in the three districts: PA-06. After Pennsylvania’s recent redistricting, President Trump lost the new district by nine percentage points. After the incumbent retired, Chrissy Houlahan (D), a former Air Force captain with a history of public service, is the new favorite. 

Please consider helping these three candidates who can counter President Trump’s dangerous national security policies.

Thank you for your help in these crucial races.

Sincerely,

John Tierney
