For the most part, Democratic candidates for Congress are raising more money than ever, but there are some non-incumbent House candidates in swing districts who still need to raise more money. We are recommending donations to the following candidates — all of whom are running in tough but winnable races and who need a fundraising boost going into the election's final stretch.
- Christopher Deluzio, Pennsylvania: A voting rights attorney and former Navy officer running for the open seat vacated by Connor Lamb, in a district that with its new lines went for Biden +6.0 in 2020. (Read Blue Tent's endorsement.)
- Ashley Ehasz, Pennsylvania: A U.S. Army combat veteran running against incumbent Brian Fitzpatrick. This suburban district north of Philadelphia with its new lines went for Biden +4.7 in 2020, and the fight to restore abortion rights may help Ehasz win.
- Adam Gray, California: Gray is competing in a district with a lot of rural and Latino voters that leans Democratic but could swing to the GOP. He can't afford to fall behind in his fundraising. (Read Blue Tent’s recommendation.)
- Jevin Hodge, Arizona: A 27-year-old who runs one of Arizona’s oldest Head Start programs has an uphill — but winnable — battle against incumbent Republican David Schweikert in a new district that Biden won by 1.6%. (Read Blue Tent's Recommendation.)
- Greg Landsman, Ohio: A former public school teacher and member of the Cincinnati City Council, Landsman is running against incumbent Steve Chabot in a new district that went Biden +8.6 in 2020. (Read Blue Tent's recommendation.)
- Jamie McLeod-Skinner, Oregon: A rancher and a progressive who faces a tough general election after defeating centrist Democrat Kurt Schrader to win the nomination. (Read Blue Tent’s recommendation. )
- Josh Riley, New York: A former U.S. Senate lawyer, Riley is running for an open seat in an Upstate district where he and his family have longtime roots. The new district was Biden +4.7 in 2020.
- Emilia Sykes, Ohio: Sykes is a state legislator who is running for an open seat (vacated by Tim Ryan) in a district that went for Biden +2.8 in 2020. (Read Blue Tent's endorsement.)
- Tony Vargas, Nebraska: A former public school teacher turned state legislator, the 35-year-old Vargas would become the state’s first Latino congressional representative if he won the seat. (Read Blue Tent's Recommendation)
- Gabe Vasquez, New Mexico: A member of the Las Cruces City Council who immigrated to the United States as a child. Vasquez is running against an incumbent — but in a new district that is now Biden +5.7. Give to Blue CD2, a local grassroots group.(Read Blue Tent's Recommendation)
