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: Cook Political Report moves IA-01 toward Democrats — while the GOP has gone into "triage" and pulled its money from Miller-Meeks.

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: Cook Political Report moves AZ-06 toward Democrats — one of 18 House races shifting our way, and all four of our House races are among them.

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: Cook Political Report moves PA-08 toward Democrats — Bresnahan's stock-trading ways are catching up with him.

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 checks in: Scott Perry, former head of the Freedom Caucus, just got many millions from Musk and company — and Cook moves PA-10 toward Democrats anyway.

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: A live report from Georgia Dem Chair Charlie Bailey (Oct. 10): "Best year for us since 1998."

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: "Ohio is back…" — a new conversation (Oct. 8) with Ohio Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Clyde.

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: David Plouffe warns: "don't take NC for granted…" — and NC Dem Chair Anderson Clayton checks in from the battleground.

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: Can Mary turn Alaska into the Democrats' next battleground? See her check in with her own update.

A logger from Maine's North Woods and former President of the Maine Senate, Troy Jackson is the Democratic nominee taking on Susan Collins.

Update: "We can't eat road salt…" says Jackson in the first debate against Susan Collins — and he reflects on the second.

Paralympic gold medalist and Iowa state representative from Council Bluffs, Josh Turek is the Democratic nominee for the US Senate seat Joni Ernst is vacating.

Update: "I am a prairie populist…" says Josh to a Washington Post reporter (Oct. 9). The race is close — and Iowa has voted for Democrats before.
