The Key House Races "Candidate of the Day" thread will be posted daily up until Nov. 2 and feature a different candidate each day. Each of these candidates is in a Toss Up, Leans D, or Likely D race and represents one of the front line soldiers in the fierce battle for control of the U.S. House.
The DCCC and liberal special interest groups are pouring resources into these races and will continue to do so up until Nov. 2. Thousands of donations targeted toward the GOP candidates in competitive races will NEUTRALIZE the donations of these Democratic special interest groups. Targeted donations are KEY to the GOP taking back the House in November and derailing the Pelosi/Obama Express of failed economic policies, bailouts, higher taxes, and government takeovers.
If you want your donations to have the greatest impact, here's where to start. Click on the Republican candidate's name below to link to the website where you can make a donation.

NE AREA INCLUDING GREEN BAY & APPLETON In the 2006 and 2008 elections, Democrat Steve Kagen faced Republican John Gard and defeated him both times. The pendulum is set swing back in the Republican’s favor. Political outsider Reid Ribble, roofing contracting owner/operator won the Republican primary with 50% of the vote over three competitors. Ribble brings 35 years of successful business experience into this race. He knows what it takes to create jobs and balance a budget. Ribble will be a sorely needed voice for fiscal sanity in the halls of Congress. |
