This is Virginia district 7 in the House. Brat has been playing some dirty tricks (he took over Eric Cantor's seat.). Could use some help.
The seat is now considered toss-up. Would love to see him get tossed out.

(51,623 posts)"In addition to California and Ohio, Mr. Obama plans to campaign this month for Democrats in Illinois and Pennsylvania, two states he carried twice and which have critical contests for Congress and governor this fall, an adviser to the former president said. He will also hold a fund-raising event in New York City for the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a group led by his former attorney general, Eric H. Holder Jr., that is focused on unraveling gerrymandered congressional maps that heavily favor Republicans, including in Ohio.
Mr. Obamas full schedule is still taking shape, and aides said he is figuring out how best to help a number of important Democrats, including groundbreaking African-American candidates for governor like Andrew Gillum in Florida and Stacey Abrams in Georgia. Mr. Obama will probably tread lightly in some parts of the country, though: In many of the red states vital to control of the Senate, he remains a divisive figure and less popular than Mr. Trump."
