Conor Lamb has a good chance to win and flip this seat for the PA 18th Congressional District, however it seems the GOP is pulling out all the stops. I'm seeing tons of TV ads for Saccone in which he's (apparently) running against Nancy Pelosi. I'm saying WTF? The ads barely mention his opponent Conor Lamb at all, they're all dragging down Nancy Pelosi. Can anyone say misogynist?
Last night I saw an anti-Conor Lamb TV ad that tried to look like swift-boating except it just shows how empty their hand is. If that's the worst they've got, they don't have anything. Even if I weren't a Democrat, I'd vote for Lamb on the basis of the sorry TV ads that Saccone is putting out. Not a word said about Saccone's experience or voting record, because I guess he doesn't have one.
I really hope this doesn't escalate into another Katie McGinty/Pat Toomey debacle. The ridiculous amount of money that was spent on that Senate race in 2016 could have fed an African country for three years. Democrats cannot outspend the Republicans, so we have to be smarter than them. It's our only hope.
Conor Lamb grew up a prominent Pittsburgh Democratic family and served as an officer in the US Marines. He's a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's office in Pittsburgh where he's been successful prosecuting against gangs, drug dealers, and gun runners among other cases.

Good luck Conor! I sent you a donation a few weeks ago and I just received your hand-written postcard thanking me. It was unexpected, and a very nice touch!
