I went through in my special election last year what Republicans are experiencing in every district this year. Angry Democrats determined to vote. Republicans less motivated because we were in charge. I got criticized because I couldn’t raise the $250,000 PER DAY in hard money that my Democrat raised. $14 million in nine weeks. For the record, no Democrat incumbent this cycle — including AOC and Hakeem Jeffries — has raised so much in so short a time. Only those two have raised more than that in ten times as long! We got outspent six-to-one. But we put our heads down and used the resources we did have to explain to Republicans and NPAs why they needed to vote. And despite much higher turnout from motivated Democrats, I won by the same 14 points in my first race that my two predecessors won by in their first elections, when neither was outspent, and it was not a special election. The bottom line is this: Ignore the noise, explain that we have a country to save, and nothing else matters but voting. VOTE.
