40. I'd go after the retiring seats, anything leaning Dem

and any tossup. As hard as possible

Races, and Dem candidates:
Kansas (Mark Holland)
KY (Charlie Booker)
LA (Gary Chambers)
Missouri (Lucas Kunce)
North Dakota (Katrina Christiansen)
Ohio (Tim Ryan)
Oklahoma (Kendra Horn)
Penn: (John Fetterman)
Utah: (Evan McMullin) Ind.
Wisconsin: Mandala Barnes

I had to do some homework, and this is a rough list. I included some campaigns where incumbants who are probably invloved with the attempted overthrow of our country have the gall to run for reelection. Not sure I'd vote for a candidate who might be spending time in jail. It Dems GOTV, in spite of the barriers and outright stoppers, we could win many of these seats. Candidates need to talk about abortion bans, taxing the rich, expanding the s.c. moving economic legislation FORWARD. Aside from being crooks, the r's are not leaders, just slugs holding a place for future slugs, to keep obstructing anything that moves the U.S. back to leadership in the world.

Thank you for asking.
