Walker Willingham walker@bainbridge.net These are the candidates I believe are most deserving, candidates with strong, sound stances, running in races where your dollars matter most. I have a strong focus in swing states where your dollars do double duty by helping Kerry too. Please make a contribution to this critical cause. - <a href="http://walkerw.blogspot.com">Walker Willingham</a> private false Richard Morrison false TX-22 morrison 4800.00 http://www.richardmorrisonfordistrict22.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/234 You just gotta admire anyone willing to take on DeLay directly. I know Texas is not a swing state, but with the ethics problems DeLay&apos;s been having, Morrison is actually within shooting distance. Nobody expected Tom Foley to lose his own seat in 1994 either. Richard Morrison (D) is taking on right-wing brute squad leader Tom DeLay (R). Lois Murphy false PA-06 murphy 4800.00 http://www.loismurphy.org https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/216 We start with close races in Pennsylvania, a must win state for Kerry. These two races are very much within reach! Lois Murphy (D) is challenging incumbent Rep. Jim Gerlach (R). Ginny Schrader false PA-08 schrader 4800.00 http://www.ginnyschrader.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/217 Incumbent Rep. Jim Greenwood (R) is not running, turning this into an open seat, and a potential pick-up for Democrats! Ginny Schrader (D) is facing Mike Fitzpatrick (R). Joe Driscoll false PA-15 driscoll 4800.00 http://www.driscollforcongress.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/219 Joe Driscoll (D) will face State Sen. Charlie Dent for the seat of Rep. Pat Toomey (R), who ran for the GOP Senate nomination and nearly defeated incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter. Patty Wetterling false MN-06 wetterling 4800.00 http://pattywetterling.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/165 Patty Wetterling (D) is challenging incumbent Rep. Mark Kennedy (R). Egad I hope Minnesota isn&apos;t really a swing state, but this is a great pick-up opportunity. Dave Thomas false CO-07 thomas 4800.00 http://www.davethomasforcongress.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/106 Dave Thomas (D) is challenging incumbent Rep. Bob Beauprez (R). Colorado could be a tie breaker if its electors get split, and this is a close district! Jane Mitakides false OH-03 mitakides 4800.00 http://www.mitakidesforcongress.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/203 OK, for the bolder among you, here are some long shot races in that Battleground state Ohio. The grassroots in Ohio is incredible, so big surprises could happen! Jane Mitakides (D) is challenging incumbent Rep. Mike Turner (R). Ben Konop false OH-04 konop 4800.00 http://www.konopforcongress.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/204 Ben Konop (D) is challenging incumbent Rep. Mike Oxley (R). Jeff Seemann false OH-16 seemann 4800.00 http://www.jeffseemannforcongress.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/209 This one&apos;s really a longshot, but Jeff Seemann is a solid peace platform progressive whose election would just rock! Jeff Seeman (D) is challenging incumbent Rep. Ralph Regula (R). Don Barbieri false WA-05 barbieri 4800.00 http://www.barbieriforcongress.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/250 Vengeance for Gingrich&apos;s &quot;revolution&quot; wouldn&apos;t be complete without winning back the seat lost that year by then speaker, Tom Foley. Don Barbieri (D) will face the Cathy McMorris (R) for the seat of Rep. George Nethercutt (R), who is running for Senate. Bryan Kennedy false WI-05 kennedy 4800.00 http://www.bryankennedyforcongress.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/257 Wisconsin is looking like a major cog in this year&apos;s electoral calculus, so getting money into the state&apos;s Democratic GOTV machinery should be a priority. Unfortunately Wisconsin has been redistricted so that every Congressional District is safe for the incumbent&apos;s party. This would be a miracle upset, but Kennedy is a great progressive and just getting more than 40% of the vote would help Kerry&apos;s cause. We need to challenge everywhere! Brian Kennedy is challenging incumbent Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R). Martin Frost false TX-32 frost 4800.00 http://www.martinfrost.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/236 Finally, here are the Texas 5, who DeLay personally spited with flagrant gerrymandering in a non-post-census year. To see his efforts backfire would be so sweet. These are closer than anticipated. Rep. Martin Frost (D) represented TX-24 prior to the recent redistricting; he is now competing with incumbent Rep. Pete Sessions (R) in TX-32. Charlie Stenholm false TX-19 stenholm 4800.00 http://www.stenholm.org/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/233 Rep. Charlie Stenholm (D) represented TX-11 prior to the recent redistricting; he is now competing with incumbent Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R) in TX-19. Max Sandlin false TX-01 sandlin 4800.00 http://www.sandlinforcongress.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/225 Incumbent Rep. Max Sandlin (D) will face a challenge from Judge Louie Gohmert (R). Nick Lampson false TX-02 lampson 4800.00 http://www.lampson.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/226 Incumbent Rep. Nick Lampson (D) will defend his seat against former Judge Ted Poe (R). Chet Edwards false TX-17 edwards 4800.00 http://www.chetedwards.com/ https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/232 Incumbent Rep. Chet Edwards (D) will defend his seat against State Rep. Arlene Wohlgemuth (R). Zelma "Tisa" Blakes false LA-05 "tisa" 2400.00 https://secure.actblue.com/contribute/entity/153 Zelma &quot;Tisa&quot; Blakes (D) is running against turncoat incumbent Rodney Alexander (R), who switched his party affiliation to the GOP fifteen minutes before the filing deadline. This pathetic attempt to block any opposition has demonstrated Alexander&apos;s willingness to embrace the most dishonest tactics for political advantage -- and thanks to Zelma Blakes, it has failed.
