FLIP OPPORTUNITY

Having defeated two Republican candidates in September, Democrat Kathryn Rehner is now in a runoff election battle for the Mississippi House, where she could flip a seat from red to blue (and break the Republican supermajority).

As a social worker, Kathryn has been a proven fighter for economic opportunity and access to health care in underserved areas
Will push for fully-funded educational opportunities for all, from pre-K to college.

Major flip opportunity.

We last lost this seat by 45. Might be some voter apathy on the republican side as their guy vacated the seat.
