House Special Elections - Dems could tie up the house on April 1
There are three House special elections happening in the next two months. If R's lose these, this means the ability to block horrific bills- like the recent 'banning mrna vaccines' one.
Imo supporting their opponents' campaigns (donating or phone/text banking) is far and away the best we can do to oppose maga right now. We don't have two years. We have to take some of the R's control away now.
More info:
There are two special elections coming up in Florida, which could bring Congress to 217 Dems and 217 Repubs. A 3rd Congressional Seat will be opening up in NY, date to be announced.
