Michigan Democrats file to run in all 110 State House seats.

@Heather4Dems
We have Democratic candidates running in all 110 Michigan House districts. That’s critical to holding our 56-54 majority. Protecting Michigan’s Democratic trifecta – and the progress they’ve made for their constituents – is one of @DLCC’s top priorities this year.

The West Wing TV show illuminated how difficult it is to find electoral sacrificial lambs. But no Republican should run unopposed.

but at least we came close enough to get that old goat henry hyde to retire.
ran again, but got stabbed in the back by the dnc. lost by a hair, to tammy duckworth, who got shellacked in the general. pretty sure we wd have won, but dnc assumed we’d lose.

i think this cycle, anything can happen, and a lot will. we shd contest every damn seat, everywhere.
esp red state houses. some of the worst shit happening is at the state level.
hell, we shd b fighting for school boards. take a page from their book.
