I turned down a meeting request with Rep. Barbara Lee today...

She's in probably the safest Democratic district (D+40) in the country. She doesn't need help getting re-elected. My cash will go to vulnerable Democratic incumbents and competitive pickup opportunities.

We donated to Tim Ryan who will be running for Portman’s seat. I think he might have a chance but he’s going to need all the help he can get.

I see Ohio as the reverse; after the 2018 losses (Gov, AG, SecState, Auditor) I need to see evidence that we can win races there.

No effing way she will ever be defeated. We love our Barbara Lee. Shame you don’t get to meet her, though.

I’m going to have to figure out who I’ll be phone banking for next year.

Are you sure that was a wise decision? Respect and sealing your proactive relationships are how we build a strong bond for tomorrow.
