Instead of working in Washington or hearing from his constituents paying more than $5/gallonfor diesel, Perry will be spending his time in the Lone Star State this week.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
"After 30 years in politics, Scott Perry has forgotten who he works for. Perry will be partying in Texas while Central Pennsylvanians are paying more for gas, groceries, and health care because of his votes in Washington. Central Pennsylvanians can't afford Scott Perry."

Instead of working in Washington or hearing from his constituents payingmore than $5/gallon for diesel, Bresnahan will be spending his time in the Lone Star State this week. It might be time to ask Bresnahan: why won't he put NEPA first?
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
"Rob Bresnahan lied when promised he would put NEPA first. Instead, he's played the stock market in Washington and shipped American tax dollars overseas while costs spike here at home. Northeastern Pennsylvanians can't afford Rob Bresnahan."

Instead of working in Washingtonor hearing from his constituents who are paying more than $5/gallon for diesel, Mackenzie will be spending his time in the Lone Star State this week to campaign with Trump.
Reminder: When Mackenzie campaigned with Trump in December, he praised him for "fixing all the conflicts" and earning the FIFA Peace Prize. How's that going, Congressman?
It's time to ask: After voting with Trump nearly 100% of the time and campaigning with him every chance he gets, has Mackenzie accepted defeat and begun auditioning for a job with Trump?
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
"Ryan Mackenzie continues to put Trump first and the Lehigh Valley last. Mackenzie has voted nearly 100% of the time with Trump, spending billions on a war of choice overseas while the cost of gas, groceries, and health care rise here at home. His loyalty to Trump over his own constituents will define his time in Washington and cost him his seat in November."

"The old version didn't mention rural Arizona once"
Eli Crane is trying to hide his broken promises from Arizonans.
New reporting from the Arizona Mirror reveals that just one month ago, Crane's website said "he was opposed to spending money on foreign 'forever wars' and vowed to 'rein in reckless spending.'" Now, "Crane has scrubbed those priorities from his website."
Crane'sshameless website scrub comes after he repeatedly failed to keep up with his own campaign promises: voting at least five times to greenlight Trump's forever war in Iran, casting a key vote for the Big, Ugly Bill which is expected to add more than three trillion dollars to the national debt, and repeatedly backing price-hiking tariffs that have raised costs for Arizonans across the board.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
"Eli Crane can't hide from his broken promises. No amount of shapeshifting can change the fact that Arizonans are feeling the pain of rising costs and six months of the war in Iran. Make no mistake: Crane's broken promises will cost him his seat this November."

Arizona Mirror: Eli Crane scrubs 'forever wars' and spending pledges he voted against from campaign website
* A month ago, a section of U.S. Rep. Eli Crane's campaign website declared that he was opposed to spending money on foreign "forever wars" and vowed to "rein in reckless spending" that was increasing the national debt.
* But Crane, a Republican who represents Arizona's 2nd Congressional District, has repeatedly voted to allow President Donald Trump to unilaterally go to war with Iran -a conflict now in its seventh month -and he backed Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which slashed taxes on businesses and the wealthy and will increase the national debt by $4.7 trillion. And now, as Republicans head into a midterm election with a historically unpopular GOP president and polling shows he is running neck-and-neck with his Democratic opponent, Crane has scrubbed those priorities from his website.
* "Instead of funding forever wars and throwing away money we don't have, Eli believes we should be focused on taking care of those who risked it all for our freedom," Crane's site said as recently as July under the heading "fighting for those who fought for us."
* The new site changes the heading to "fighting for veterans" and removes his opposition to "forever wars" in favor of talking about fighting "fraud-ridden nongovernmental organizations" and declaring that "we should be focused on taking care of those who risked it all for our freedom."
* Crane has voted multiple times in favor of the deeply unpopular war that has cost the average American household $1,200 so far. Recent polling found that only a quarter of Americans are supportive of the Iran War, which has seen 18 service members die and more than 750 wounded.
* A former Navy SEAL, Crane has been outspoken during his time in Congress against spending money to fund overseas wars, regularly zeroing in on U.S. support of Ukraine in its war against Russia, which invaded the American ally in 2022.
* Likewise, Crane's website no longer features his pledge to "rein in reckless spending" and practice fiscal responsibility.
* "As a small business owner, Eli knows you can't just print money. As inflation rates and our national debt skyrockets, Congress continues to spend money we don't have. This is unacceptable and Eli has consistently gone against the grain, voting to rein in reckless spending," the website previously read.
* Now, after he voted for the debt-boosting One Big Beautiful Bill, and as inflation continues to rise under Trump, that section of the website has been deleted.
* The old version didn't mention rural Arizona once, while the new page features sections on protecting rural Arizona land, recovering from natural disasters -like the flood in 2025 that devastated Globe -and helping Arizonans achieve the American Dream.
* Crane was already seen as potentially vulnerable earlier this year, which prompted national GOP leaders to funnel cash into his campaign.

Last weekend, the DCCC Organizing program hosted a nationwide Weekend of Action across 52 critical DCCC battleground districts to engage volunteers and strengthen Democrats' on the ground organizing efforts less than 70 days out from Election Day.
The DCCC's Weekendof Action brought more than 2,200 volunteer canvassers out to knock more than 91,000 doors in the 52 districts, and saw especially high turnout and excitement with base voters in NY-17, TX-34, CA-22, VA-01, WA-03, and NJ-07.
In a sign of growing enthusiasm, the August Weekend of Action doubled doors knocked from the committee's July 100 Days Out Weekend of Action, and more than quadrupled the doors knocked from the committee's June Weekend of Action. The rapid growth signals that grassroots voters are excited about our Democratic candidates and are eager to hold Republicans accountable for their cost-raising agenda.
REMINDER: Earlier this year, the DCCC launched The Field Margin, our earliest-ever battlefield wide direct voter contact program focused on arming everyday volunteers with the skills necessary to help mobilize voters across the country.
DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
"We're seeing battleground voters in key districts grow more and more eager to elect House Democrats and hold vulnerable Republicans accountable for raising their costs as we get closer to Election Day. Thanks to the DCCC's robust organizing efforts, thousands of volunteers are already reaching tens of thousands of voters face to face, and these efforts will be key to flipping these seats and electing a House Democratic majority in November."
See the grassroots excitement for DCCC candidates below:

"It's not even a close call for me to stand in Sam's corner."
Smokejumper and union leader Sam Forstag is building support from both sides of the aisle as he gains momentum to flip Montana's First Congressional District.
Former Montana governor and RNC chair Marc Racicot says "It's not even a close call for me to stand in Sam's corner," making the case simple for Montanans: "[Forstag] cares about what he'sdoing. He's very well prepared. He has the right priorities."
REMINDER: On top of Forstag gaining bipartisan support, Former Senator Jon Tester won the district in 2024 -making it clear that Montanans are ready for an independent fighter that's ready to put them first.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
"Western Montanans don't need another Republican rubber-stamp like Aaron Flint representing them in Washington. Montana families are ready to flip MT-01 and elect Sam Forstag -a proven leader whose top priority will always be Montanans."

MS NOW: Former RNC chair backs Democrat in coveted Montana district
* A Montana Democrat running for Congress in the red state has picked up what once would have seemed like an unlikely backer: a former GOP governor who was once chairman of the Republican National Committee.
* Marc Racicot, who won two terms as Montana's governor in the 1990s before leading the RNC during George W. Bush's first term, is set to endorse Sam Forstag's bid for the state's 1st Congressional District, currently held by a Republican.
* "He cares about what he's doing. He's very well prepared. He has the right priorities in terms of character and virtues and value and belief in the Constitution," Racicot said in an interview with MS NOW. "It's not even a close call for me to stand in Sam's corner."
* Yet the public embrace from Racicot could go toward helping the kind of crossover appeal Forstag likely needs to do what no Montana Democrat has been able to do since the 1990s: win a U.S. House seat in the state.
* Since then, [Forstag's] built an unusual profile in a state where the national Democratic brand has proved corrosive. He is one of only a handful of congressional Democrats endorsed by both progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders and the centrist Blue Dog political outfit. Racicot's support on top of that offers some Bush Republican-era nostalgia for voters as Forstag tries to cut into the state's rightward drift.
* "We're in a hole that both parties have been digging for us," Forstag said, urging support for a kind of Democrat "that could actually improve your life, and is actually going to prioritize doing so, because I know what it's like on a day-to-day basis."
