🚨 4 Days Until Florida 1st and 6th Districts Special Elections! 🚨

(Please let me know if there are any broken links or incorrect or incomplete information)

What’s at stake:
Donald Trump’s recent appointments have triggered a number of key special elections that could change everything for Democrats.
FL-01 ... OPEN
FL-06 ... OPEN
NY-21 ... OPEN
The GOP holds one of the slimmest House majorities in history – meaning Hakeem Jeffries only needs three more seats to win a House majority. We can’t let this opportunity slip through our fingers. Will you rush a donation of $3 or more to help Democrats win these crucial elections and reclaim a House majority?

The Fascist Felon withdrew Elise Stefanik's nomination to be UN Ambassador. He needs her in the House.

BUT...Florida voters, show up & show out! Turn those seats blue!

They should flood the local airways with political ads these last few days before voting next week.
