Justice Democrats sent an email soliciting support for their "slate"...

Four of the five candidates listed are running against incumbent Democrats. One is apparently listed as running in a District to be eliminated.

1. Republican states,

are putting 2 Democrats in one district. In Texas they put Al Greene and Sheila Jackson Lee in the same district. It must have caught on because I heard that other states are doing the same thing. I do believe that Merrick Garland has filed a complaint with what Texas did.

Without passing S1 it will be a hard row to hoe.

2. The initial redistricting proposal slated Greene and Lee in the same district.

The final redistricting plan that was adopted by the Texas Legislature placed Greene and Lee into separate districts. I wanted to set the record straight rather than read misinformation since it weakens the remainder of any arguments people might make.

The DOJ (along with other civic groups) has contested the redistricting plans for the U.S. House.

3. Is one of the incumbents Carolyn Maloney?

Carolyn Maloney is a Hard-Core Liberal

Maloney was ranked the third most effective Democratic representative in the House by the Center for Effective Lawmaking last year.

4. I am on this email list also

I am amused by these emails

5. I'll ask you the same question I asked above. Is Maloney one of the incumbents on their hit list?

Justice Democrats spent over 20% of their disbursements in 2020 on ads against Democrats (i.e. attack ads).

Why would any group claiming to be "progressive" work to defeat Carolyn Maloney, one of the most liberal and effective Democrats in the House?

Cui bono?
