Washington Post: Across the country, dozens of House Republicans who previously coasted to victory are for the first time facing credible and well-financed Democratic opponents and working furiously to find a strategy for survival.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) delivered a stern message last month to the rank and file after a surprisingly narrow special election win in a reliably Republican Arizona district: Wake up, because Democrats are motivated.

that we will take at least one new voter to the polls in November.
By new voter, I mean someone who either wasnt previously registered or only voted in Presidential years. So, someone who normally doesnt vote in the midterms.

or register, or the like, things will be different and better for all of us.

already votes. I knew one person who didn't and that was a red flag to his overall lack of character. Maybe knocking on doors too. I hope they ask simple questions and not heavy duty political ones where I could go on a rant. They must have a script.
