1. Augie, swingleft.org is an awesome resource! I wasn't aware of it. You should do an OP

That how I found about it.

There's little we can do outside of CA to change things if we have limited time and financial resources, so flipping parts of CA works for me. We, as a state, get stronger representation as a result.

Please feel free to share on social media and everywhere you can.

9. All politics is local, so that would be my choice, too

And it's a totally flippable seat. Heck, four of those on the list are totally flippable.

But we need to multitask at the same time. There are some seats at risk of flipping red. California's 7th district comes to mind. It is a VERY purple district (actually a red majority), and if the republicans put up a strong contender, Ami Bera could be in trouble.

These are my two. 10 to flip, 7 to save. Let's spread the word among our California friends.
