MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

Didn’t realize that the deadly explosion in Tennessee took place in #TN07, which is where the special election is taking place in December.

Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn comments on the tragedy below:

Rep. Aftyn Behn @aftynbehn.bsky.social · 12h

OUR WORKERS DESERVE TO LIVE.
The explosion in McEwen wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a heartbreak for an entire community. Parents and siblings went to work and never came home. Tennessee families deserve safety, dignity, and accountability. A job should never cost you your life.

You all can’t have healthcare so Trump can have those tax dollars to spend on playing Napoleon while your family members die.

Trump is trying to rule like a king. Sending masked agents into our cities. Targeting immigrant families. Terrorizing our communities.

But this country does not belong to kings, dictators, or him. It belongs to us.

On October 18, we rise to say #NoKings!

Here’s the simple truth that Republicans in DC don’t want you to know: The government is shut down because they are choosing to DOUBLE your health care premiums. There’s a bill that would end the shutdown today AND fund health care.

But Washington Republicans keep voting NO.

Jack is in favor of: Charter schools, restricting access to voting (photo ID), keeping minimum wage low, lowering corp taxes, cutting budget 30% (we know what will get cut), anti-reproductive freedom, anti-clean energy, and wants NJDOGE. He is dangerous! Mikie Sherril is for NJ.

Los recortes presupuestarios de Ciattarelli afectarían a las personas mayores, las escuelas y la atención médica. ¿Pero los multimillonarios? Ellos se salvan. Eso no es responsabilidad fiscal, es crueldad. ¡Regístrese (o verifique su registro) HOY! #VOTENJ

Spanish-language graphic with “vote.nj.gov” at the top. Two raised hands—one yellow, one black—hold yellow signs that read: “VERIFICA TU REGISTRO DE VOTANTE” and “¡ASEGURA TU VOZ! REGÍSTRATE PARA VOTAR ANTES DEL 14 DE OCTUBRE.” Promotes voter registration for Spanish-speaking residents.

🧓 Ciattarelli’s budget cuts would hit seniors, schools, and health care. But billionaires? They get a pass. That’s not fiscal responsibility—it’s cruelty
