I chipped in my $5. If a lot of DUers respond it would be great.

Republicans have woken up to the fact that they have a real race on their hands in Georgia: A GOP super PAC just launched $1 million ad campaign attacking Democrat Jon Ossoff and it's ... really weird.

The special congressional election happening next month has turned into a high stakes battle and could be an early indicator of the intensity of the resistance to Trump, but apparently all the GOP could dig up on Ossoff is that he dressed up as Han Solo in college.

This is not a joke. Somehow, this is an actual GOP attack ad. And even if it is strange, it's probably just the first of many millions that will be spent trying to beat down Ossoff.

Fight back against the GOP attacks. Can you chip in $5 to put Democrat Jon Ossoff over the top?

Here's why this election is so important:

Ossoff is running in a red district where Donald Trump is deeply unpopular—Trump's one-point victory here last November was a stunning 23-point collapse from Mitt Romney's showing in 2012. A Democratic victory here would send shockwaves through Congress, confirming the GOP's deepest fears that Trump is sinking their party, and could be an early indicator of huge Democratic wave in 2018.

Want to replace Trump's anti-Obamacare hatchet man with a Democrat? Then chip in $5 to Jon Ossoff right now.

Keep fighting,

1. I've chipped in $5

twice now.

I keep asking if he has a chance to win, though. Does he?

3. I could swear I posted about him but can't find it. There are several Dems...

...running in the primary, but John Lewis endorsed him. Ballotpedia.org rates the district safe Repub, but I point you to what happened in CT in a district that's been Repub since 1891 (not a typo.)

The 6th Congressional District of Georgia will hold a special election for the U.S. House of Representatives on April 18, 2017.
Heading into the election, Ballotpedia rates this race as safely Republican. The election will replace Tom Price (R), who was confirmed as U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.[1] Eighteen candidates filed to run in the race. They are as follows: Judson Hill (R), Mohammad Ali Bhuiyan (R), Bob Gray (R), Dan Moody (R), Karen Handel (R), Bruce LeVell (R), David Abroms (R), Keith Grawert (R), Amy Kremer (R), William Llop (R), Kurt Wilson (R), Ron Slotin (D), Jon Ossoff (D), Ragin Edwards (D), Richard Keatley (D), Rebecca Quigg (D), Alexander Hernandez (I), and Andre Pollard (I). All candidates will compete in the same election on April 18, 2017. If no candidate receives at least 50 percent of the vote, the top two, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to the runoff election on June 20.[2][3]

2. I did, too, today. I'm in the 5th (John Lewis) but I would LOVE to see this bright young man

win especially in that goddamn asshole Price's district. Sorry for the language.
