Connelly: Rep. McMorris Rodgers 'no longer safe' -- Cook Political Report [View all]

The report downgraded GOP Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers from "Solid Republican" to "Likely Republican."

How likely is open to conjecture back in this Washington. Last Saturday, 439 people showed up in Spokane at a volunteers training session for Democratic challenger, former State Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown.

Brown will hold a workshop for volunteers Sunday afternoon in Walla Walla, at the other end of the district.

"Eastern Washington is not normally a place you'd expect a competitive House rate, but in this political climate problems for Republicans are popping up in surprising places," David Wasserman, House editor of the Cook Political report, wrote.

"House GOP Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the only female member of the House GOP leadership elite since 2012, has been a high profile supporter of the party's legislative agenda. But as that agenda's popularity has faded, so has her political security back home."
