🇺🇸 National Opportunities
📍The Washington Indivisible Network Election Team, hosted by Indivisible Vashon, has done extensive research on the prospects for our National elections to regain control of Congress. To regain Congress we need to protect progressive incumbents and flip some seats from red to blue. To dispel uncertainty and defeat the possibility of stolen elections we need impressive wins. Make this happen by supporting one or more of the competitive Congressional candidates HERE.
