As I write, there are fewer than 500 days til the 2018 midterm elections. Those elections are the institutional way that we the people express ourselves about our government.
We can sign petitions, write scathing Twitter posts, but most of that is just sound and fury against the power of the ballot box.
Every, single member of Congress stands for election in November, 2018. And former Congresswoman Ellen Taucher has 7 Republican in her sights for “retirement” next year.
Each of the Republicans targeted by the California7 Project represent districts where Hillary Clinton beat DJT in 2016.
Taucher’s pitch is to keep the political cash that California traditionally generates for Democratic efforts elsewhere here in the Golden State and turn these current red districts blue.
Seven seats is nearly a third of the seats needed to give Democrats control of the House of Representatives.
