Jun 2017

but not even being able to vote in the elections horrible optics, regardless.

I'm hoping we don't tap out our donor base chasing seats in Red districts. If we have the money, fine, but if we start coming up short we could find ourselves losing seats we currently hold. I just wish I had a better feel for the capacity we have to raise money over the next 3+ years...makes me nervous.
