EMILY’s List is looking to expand the Democratic House majority and flip the Senate next year, naming 43 House Republicans and six GOP senators on its initial list of 2020 targets, shared first with Roll Call.

“EMILY’s List is actively recruiting and working with potential candidates in these flippable districts,” Stephanie Schriock, president of the pro-abortion rights group, said in a statement. “We look forward to sending even more pro-choice Democratic women to Congress next year to fight for health care, economic justice, and to end corruption.”

Eleven of them are in races Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates Solid Republican. They include Mario Diaz-Balart and Michael Waltz of Florida; Greg Gianforte of Montana; David Joyce and Michael R. Turner of Ohio; Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington; Denver Riggleman of Virginia; Elise Stefanik of New York; Tim Walberg of Michigan; Steve Watkins of Kansas; and Don Young of Alaska.

The group is also targeting six GOP senators who are up for re-election, including both GOP senators running in states that Hillary Clinton carried in 2016: Susan Collins of Maine and Cory Gardner of Colorado.
