If we are to keep these two in charge of Congress, we need to win these critical Majority Saver Races!
This is an extraordinarily long diary. It is a culmination of all of the work I have put in over the last six months. I would recommend reading the information before the fold, as this is where you can take action to help out in keeping control of the House of Representatives, as well as the Senate.
Below the fold are links to every diary I have written, as well as the names of Majority Savers I have still yet to publish an article about. I have organized them in order by state and district in ABC order. Hopefully this will make it easier to find the district you are interested in!
Without further ado, let’s look at the races that are most critical in both the House and Senate.
Key House Races
These races will likely determine control of the House of Representatives. All of them are tossup races or ones with a slight tilt towards a political party. They need volunteers and more donations in order to win. We need to sweep ALL of the races listed in ALL three sections to keep the House! Click on their name to go to their campaign website to either donate or volunteer.
Mary Peltola — She shocked the political world by winning a special election in Alaska. She faces the voters again, and this time there may be more Republicans voting.

Jamie McLeod-Skinner — She knocked off a moderate incumbent who is not playing ball right now. This race is on a knife edge, and I cannot say that I favor us winning in Oregon this year.

Nevada — All three incumbents in Nevada are at risk. Susie Lee, Steven Horsford, and Dina Titus are watching this state shift to the right even more. They may be swept away this year.

Josh Riley, Pat Ryan, and Francis Conole must all three win their races this year.

Jared Golden — He is the most conservative Democrat, but he holds one of the worst seats for us currently. He is facing stiff headwinds in keeping his seat this time around in rural Maine.

Elaine Luria — Luria is part of the 1/6 Committee, which puts a huge target on her back. She has stellar fundraising, but also a very marginal Virginia district that Biden barely won.

Cindy Axne — TFG won her Iowa district, and she is facing a good opponent. I haven’t written off this race yet, but something major needs to change because she is the underdog right now.

Seth Magaziner — This race shouldn’t even be competitive. Biden handily won this district in Rhode Island yet our nominee is failing to get much traction. I shake my head at this race.
House Races Needing Donations
These 10 campaigns are running on fumes right now and could use some last minute donations. Each one is critical to our chances of taking over the House, but it won’t happen if these races don’t get more funding soon! Click on their name to donate to them — they truly need the cash for the home stretch!
Kirsten Engel — This race is slipping away from us, and Engel has very little cash in order to get momentum back. Without cash, her chances drop significantly.

House Races Needing Volunteers
