All of our 2022 target races are
critical to putting the nail in the coffin for Trump and Trumpism.
We’re going after them with everything we’ve got, but we can’t do it
alone. Are you with us?

Friend, we aren’t done with
primaries, not by a long shot – but one of the most interesting target
states in the country has multiple Congressional races we believe are
critical to the success of the pro-democracy coalition this
year.
You’ve probably heard that
redistricting is basically a wash – Democrats took a few late legal
losses but ultimately the new maps are not going to condemn us all to
a GOP landslide. (Other factors like general incompetence from
Washington might, but we’re going to fight like hell to prevent
that).
In
Pennsylvania, there are three districts that might flip the House – or
allow Democrats to build a xxxxxx against the MAGA wave. Want to help
us win Pennsylvania’s three key races in the House (and their
statewides?) Pitch in today.
PA-8: As one of
the 13 congressional districts across the nation which was won both by
Trump and a Democrat in the House, this one is critical to Democrats’
efforts to retain their majority in the House. Since Pennsylvania’s
delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives is narrowly divided;
congressional elections in the state will play a decisive role in
determining which party controls the majority of the delegation in
Congress should the 2024 POTUS race be decided on Capitol Hill. Think
the Republicans aren’t looking ahead to that eventuality? Then you
haven’t been paying attention.
PA-7: Situated
north of Philadelphia along the New Jersey border, the district sits
smack dab on the “Bannon-line” in the Lehigh Valley. The outcome in
the 7th, and the make-up of turnout in the district, will have
implications beyond the House race including the potential to impact
up the ballot in the U.S. Senate and Governor’s races. Can we repel
the Republican assault in the suburbs and exurbs?
PA-17: The swing nature of the area and the changes in the district’s
makeup, coupled with the importance of retaining the seat for
Democrats makes this a marquee House race in 2022 in Pennsylvania and
nationally. Generically, the redrawn district favors Democrats by less
than 2% – making it one of the most organically competitive seats in
the nation and the most in the state. This is where we come in – that
2% margin is where The Lincoln Project’s focus will make the
difference for Democrats.
We’re creating a special
pro-democracy Midterms Fund where everything we raise is going to go
to contacting voters in these key swing districts, in both
Pennsylvania and nationwide.
Are
you ready to help us win Pennsylvania and across the country? We need
your help.
Thank you for keeping us in this fight.
