2020 Senate Races

Right now the Republicans control senate by a margin of 53 to 45 Dems and 2 independents. Nothing gets done. They refuse to do their duty and hold Trump to account.

The 2020 elections have become a referendum on Trump and his minions.

2020 Senate races to support.

Kentucky – Amy McGrath https://amymcgrath.com/  

Alabama – Support vulnerable Democrat incumbent Doug Jones.

Arizona – Mark Kelly (D) astronaut and husband of former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, is challenging appointed Republican Martha McSally. https://markkelly.com/

Colorado – Sen. Cory Gardner (R) is considered one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the 2020 election.

A race to watch

Maine – Susan Collins has challengers! Sara Gideon, endorsed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and EMILY’s List, Betsy Sweet (D), Bre Kidman (D) and former Google Executive Ross LaJeunesse are all also running.

Keep an eye on the Democratic primary on March 3.
