NV-SD07: Nevada Democrats may have just picked up a State Senate seat

SD8 (Republican Valerie Weber vs. Democrat Marilyn Dondero Loop)— Still about even. Toss-up.

SD9 (Republican Tiffany Jones vs. Democrat Melanie Scheible) — +1,100, Dems. Dems gained ground. This one looks lost to the GOP.

SD20 (Republican Keith Pickard vs. Democrat Julie Pazina) — +65 Dems, lost some ground. Toss-up.

Remember these are all GOP-held and all open seats (Patty Farley was elected as one, at least), and if the Dems take them all, they have a supermajority. They look almost assured of getting to 12, but the other two are tossups.)

WA-03: NRCC spend $800k to rescue Herrera Beutler

This election cycle, both candidates are spending more of what they have. Herrera Beutler has about $454,000 left in the coffers compared with Long’s $700,000.

The ad buys from independent committees targeting the race are also picking up. On Friday, the National Republican Congressional Committee released an $800,000 ad buy targeting Long. The ad comes just a day after a $500,000 ad by Winning for Women was released in support of Herrera Beutler.

Across the aisle, Women Vote! spent just more than $400,000 on an ad against Herrera Beutler that was released on Tuesday.

Long’s campaign has been critical of the last-minute buys supporting Herrera Beutler, arguing that it’s proof Republican backers are nervous about the race.

“Our tremendous grass-roots support throughout Washington state shows that our message is resonating with people in the district while Herrera Beutler has to rely on Paul Ryan’s PAC and the NRCC to carry her message,” said Michelle Thimios, Long’s campaign manager. “Meanwhile, we’ve seen record volunteer turnout from folks in Southwest Washington committed to going door to door to counteract the GOP’s misleading ads.”

New York state has a LOT of districts we rate as either Lean/Likely Republican (NY-23, NY-27, NY-11, NY-24, NY-21, NY-2, NY-1) or Toss-up (NY-19, NY-22). In fact, no district in NY is *totally* safe for the GOP. But also no slam-dunk Democratic pickups.

My GOTV update: California are red-hot ready to vote.

I am in the middle of doing GOTV to get Democrats to the polls in key Congressional and legislative districts and I have to say that, based on MY list, they are ready to punch through walls to vote. How is it looking in your parts of the country?
