Another special election, another example of Democrats outperforming 2016. Democrats easily held PA HD35, based outside Pittsburgh, improving on Clinton's already solid margin in the district. #PAHD35 #PA35

Let's keep these victories going. We need to defeat every single Republican in every race across America this year.

Don't get me wrong, we won the seat, but this being an easy Dem seat probably means that 2-3 other seats are easy R's.

Will love to see how the re-districting goes.
