Edit: That didn't take long to raise the goal to $3,500. I should do this more often.
This link is just $16 short of the $3,000 goal. This will be a close race. Michelle has the DCCC behind her.

OP
The 15th CD is actually a swing district that the Democrats held until 2022.

which is why a wingnut won it and is the incumbent now.

Even with the redistricting it is still winnable for the Democrats.

(77,795 posts)5. Not arguing, just wanting to understand: If the Redistricted one was swingable, why
did the Dem incumbent back then skedaddle out of it to run in the safer one next door, thereby handing the Redistricted one to the wingnuts? Or was it just him who was weak?
