Too close to call

Friend,

You probably aren’t following along with all the polling on your favorite candidates. That’s OK — we are. A poll came out last week showing our endorsee Josh Harder (D-CA-10) in a dead heat with incumbent Rep. Jeff Denham (R), tied at 48 percent each. This is the first poll we’ve seen of this race since the June primary.

Two other races our endorsees are involved in are also close by razor-thin margins: Katie Porter (D-CA-45) trails incumbent Rep. Mimi Walters by just one point, and Colin Allred (D-TX-32) is behind incumbent Rep. Pete Sessions by just two points.

Will you help push these candidates ahead? With your help, we can win these races.

Incumbents Sessions, Walters and Denham have been the antithesis of champions when it comes to arms control and preventing the growth of nuclear arsenals. Winning these seats will have the dual effect of ridding Congress of opponents of our agenda and installing three voices that can instead be counted on to champion a smart, diplomacy-first approach.

With less than three months to go, all three challengers need your help to boost name recognition and get their message out to their entire congressional districts. Will you help today?

Thank you for all you do.

Sincerely,

James McKeon
Political Director
