How active is the Democratic Party in the elections in your state this midterm?

Do you sense that they are investing or not? Are you seeing ads? Pushback to the garbage machine? Just curious because I thought we were out to a good start here and it has become quiet.

Finally someone competent is heading up the state party.

Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter are raising gobs of money.

We have a former congressman who was first elected as a Dem but than switched to R and was voted out in the next election running for Gov as a Dem, if you can follow that logic. I'll be voting for "other"

who are working on Campaign Coordination. Went to a campaign event, met lots of party folk, took a lot of pics of me and party people. My fave was the handshake photos. I had fun.

so we have to campaign against real repubs and the phoney dems. it's difficult for a repub to get elected as a real repub so many switch and the dems party here allows it
