The Fight for Congress

This year's Congressional elections are particularly exciting for the Democratic National Committee. There is a real possibility that the party may gain seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Presently, Republicans run both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives, making it difficult for Democrats to push any agenda forward.

Recent articles in the Washington Post and the New York Times, just as two examples, point out how close the races are. In the Senate, there is a possibility of regaining majority. However, our best chances are in regaining the House of Representatives where some Democrat challengers have a big enough lead that the real possibility is in sight.

Folks, this is going to be a nail-biter. It brings us to the next point, which is to stress the importance to go out and vote. As election day draws near, it appears that the margins are getting smaller and smaller. Your vote is needed to make the possibility of a Democratic win in Congress a reality.
