The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is focusing on 19 seats that the party thinks it can win from Republicans, labeled as the “Red to Blue” campaign. Three of those seats have a significant number of Native American voters.
...

The most important seat on the Democrats’ list is Montana where Denise Juneau is challenging Rep. Ryan Zinke. Montana is an ideal state for a Democratic pickup. Montana’s demographics are changing and there will be a lot of ballot and fundraising chaos should the Republicans nominate Donald Trump or Ted Cruz. And, Native Americans already have a good turnout track record during presidential years.

Another House seat on this list is Nevada’s 4th district where former Assembly Speaker John Oceguera, Walker River Paiute, is a candidate. (He still must win a primary.) This district is almost 15 percent Native American.
...
Those districts are Washington’s 5th district where former Colville Chairman Joe Pakootas is running again; and Arizona’s 2nd district where Victoria Steele, a Seneca, is polling well but lacks money. Both Steele and Pakootas face primary challengers.

Remember, this cycle is not all about the Presidency, we need the House and Senate too, and these candidates need your support.

1. I'll be voting for

Denise Juneau.

2. I already sent a donation to her campaign, albeit a small one.

I'll try hit the others' campaigns after the next pay.

She gets bonus 'explode Republican heads' points for being openly gay, iirc.

3. Indeed.

I give her extra points all around as she has so much to offer. It isn't quite as redneck in MT as many suspect though there is still plenty of it here.

4. I wish I wasn't on a fixed income. I would spend it like it was going out of style on congressional

races

5. I know the feeling.

Had I not happened to get new contract work that started last fall for the first time in 6 years or so, I wouldn't have had anything to donate to Bernie or anyone else.
