"Over a week ago, I attended a fundraiser with our leader in the House, Nancy Pelosi, and she noted to the assembled crowd a couple of facts which are extremely important to how we approach taking back our government.
The first fact is this: we need only 15 incremental seats to control the House of Representatives.
Those 15 seats change everything about the dynamic of the federal government; they allow us to stop the right-wing machine that's destroying every semblance of effective and fair government in this country.
The second fact is that every list of 15 seats we can take includes Washington's 8th Congressional District (now represented by GOP Rep. Dave Reichert).
Those two facts are of interest very broadly: even if you don't live in Washington's 8th, you can affect the outcome of the race, and it's of critical national importance.
They are, in addition, of particular interest to me, because I am running for that seat and because I have empirical data now that shows that it is possible for me to win it."-from Darcy Burner's post on Kos. Check it out for all the talking points.
