Help the Flip

law professor, engineer and former State Representative, Bohannan lost to the MAGA incumbent by only 799 votes in a district that Trump won by 8 points. Indeed, Christina got 30,000 Trump voters to vote for her. She says, "Dems are far more motivated [here] and Trump's misguided policies are doing enormous harm to IA and everyone dependent on the farm economy." This is a ready-flip-seat.

Update: As of July 16, the whole Iowa ballot is breaking Democratic — a US Senate pickup, the Governor's office, and Christina's IA-01 — and State Chair Rita Hart lays out why.

a military veteran and "Arizona Tough", faces MAGA extremist Juan Ciscomani, who won by only 2.5 points in 2024. This is the former Gabby Giffords seat and has 80,000 veterans (Sen. Mark Kelly overperformed in this district) and a 25 percent Hispanic population (Sen. Ruben Gallego also overperformed). She is a standout among eight Democrats in the primary.

Update: A June 20 New York Times profile of both AZ-06 candidates gets personal about each of them — and Jo's story is a powerful one.

six-year Mayor of Scranton, re-elected twice, moved her city from junk-bond status to investment grade in just that time. Her freshman MAGA extremist opponent won on Trump's coattails by 1.6 points while Trump won by 8.5 points. Paige's opponent is one of the most prolific stock traders in Congress, in blatant contrast to his promises to his MAGA base. A flip waiting to happen.

Update: A local paper reflects on the on-the-ground appreciation for Mayor Cognetti's service to Scranton — read it here.

lost to gun-obsessed Scott Perry by just 1.2%. For 30 years, Central PA and the state capitol, have trusted her broadcast journalism. PA-10's Democratic prospects now enjoy a new governor, Josh Shapiro, running atop the same ticket. Janell has been listening and telling the stories of PA families for decades and is ready to flip her district on our behalf.

Update: Janelle's opponent Scott Perry was one of only 32 House members to vote against the bipartisan affordable-housing bill that became law without Trump's signature — a Trump-panderer, indeed.

younger and only ending his first term, Jon is keeping his conflicted Republican primary field of opponents within the margin of error in a state that still tries to suppress the votes of his supporters. MLK's voters and John Lewis' voters and a lot of progressive Georgians (D&R) are up against a muscular MAGA machine. Georgia Senate is a toss-up, y'all.

Update: Ossoff takes down Trump over his failed election-fraud speech and his intelligence-chief nominee — see The Hill's report and watch his Senate Intelligence Committee examination of the nominee.

can win this race because he runs for the seat held briefly by JD "coat tails" Vance. MAGA appointed John "corruption-indicted" Husted, to JD-sycophant-Vance's seat. Brown's lifelong theme is "The Dignity of Work.' He will lead our party to the working class, a new middle class, and more poverty reduction in America. 2024 will be a brief coattails-be-damned hiccup in Sharrod's stellar service on behalf of the rest of us.

Update: The Ohio Conference of Teamsters has endorsed Sherrod Brown — "we care about whether our elected officials will empower workers," not party affiliation.

N Carolinians, D&R, are used to voting for Roy. He term-limited as Governor and runs now on account of the Trump danger. It's a winning combination when added to an enlivened Democratic Party. For the first time in years, it's running in every election on the entire down-ballot, no exceptions. Opponent Watley, a MAGA-DC lobbyist, is unknown even in GOP circles in NC. Care to help NC become our next battleground?

Update: Republicans are panicking about North Carolina — and Roy's "stuff costs too much" message is landing with voters.

Mary will win this, and you will love doing it. She served 10 years in Alaska's House starting when she was 24. She won a special election to become AK's sole US Congressperson when her predecessor died in a plane accident. On the stump she admired both her R and D all-Alaska predecessors, but she beat MAGA Sara Palin fair and square. Her opponent opposed Trump until he supported Trump, both with gusto.

Update: Mary writes from fish camp on the extractive economics that fund her MAGA opponent — and with the GOP now flooding Sullivan's ad budget and the polls neck-and-neck, this is the moment to get with it.
