We already knew that our race would be tough thanks to redistricting. But this new rating means our opponents will start pumping even more outside money into mid-Michigan to flip this seat and take control of the House. [We won’t let them do it. Please stand with Dan today to help power our summer of organizing as we prepare for the road ahead.]( --------------------------------------------------------------- Original Message: {NAME} — It’s official: Dan is now running in the “median” congressional district in America. What does that mean, exactly? It means that Michigan’s Eighth Congressional District is at the center of America’s politics. Exactly half of the country’s districts are more Democratic, and half are more Republican. It’s a true toss-up seat. And with 435 congressional seats, it sits exactly in the middle—the 218th seat—that will determine control of Congress. In mid-Michigan, people rightfully don’t think about politics every day. Working families are worried about putting food on the table, paying rent and raising their families. They reject partisan politics and don’t care which party you’re affiliated with—they just want their elected officials to work on issues to make their lives better. That’s the leadership that Dan Kildee brings to Congress. He’s focused every day on lowering the cost of gas, groceries and prescription drugs. He’s worked with Republicans and Democrats to protect the Great Lakes and support fair trade deals that boost Michigan’s manufacturing. But as the Cook Political Report just put it, “Kildee could be in for the race of his life.” That’s because this new, middle-of-the-road district is a true toss-up, and could go either way. Here in mid-Michigan, we’re now at the center of it all.
