Get Out the Vote (GOTV) campaign will target over 2.5 million AANHPI, Black, and Latino voters
The DCCC is launching a GOTV digital ad campaign of over $1 million to encourage AANHPI, Black, and Latino voters to make a plan to vote, head to the polls on November 3rd, and vote for change.
"Shopping List" is reaching hardworking AANHPI families who have been forcedto cut back on their groceries and everyday goods due to Republicans' cost of living crisis. Additionally, "Serving Size" is targeting young AANHPI voters who are being oversold promises by Republicans only to be saddled by high costs. The ads will run in CA-06, CA-22, CA-48, MI-10, NJ-07, NY-03, NY-04, NV-03, PA-01, VA-01, VA-02, and VA-05.
"Serving Size"
"Too High" highlights the pain at the pump Black voters are feeling caused by Republicans' reckless war. For hardworking families, gas is still high, while Trump says, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation." The American people are footing the bill for Republicans' failures and they deserve better. The ad will run in AL-02, AR-02, FL-14, FL-22, IN-01, KY-06, MI-08, MI-10, NC-01, NC-03, NC-09, NE-02, NV-01, NV-03, NV-04, NY-04, OH-01, OH-09, OH-10, OH-13, PA-10, SC-01, TN-05, TN-09, VA-01, and VA-02.
"Too High"
"Pledge" highlights Republicans' broken promises to Latino voters and encourages them to protect our families and vote Democrat this November. Latino communities have been terrorized by Republicans' lawless ICE operations, leaving families destroyed and devastating local economies. While out-of-control ICE tactics have targeted and even killed U.S. citizens, Republicans cheered them on and voted to give them billions of dollars. The ads will run in CA-22, CO-05, CO-08, FL-14, FL-22, FL-25, FL-27, NC-09, NM-02, PA-07, TX-23, TX-34, and TX-35.
"Pledge" in English
The ads will run on YouTube and a variety of streaming platforms.
ASPIRE PAC Chair Marilyn Strickland:
"AANHPI voter turnout is key to winning some of the most competitive battleground districts across the country. We are the fastest growing group of voters, and by reaching out directly to our communities, the DCCC is making it clear that AANHPI voices are essential to the Democrats retaking the House majority."
BOLD PAC Chair Linda Sanchez:
"Republicans promised Latino families a better life. Instead, they drove prices up and terrorized our neighborhoods. Latino voters remember, and there is no House majority without us. The DCCC's investment will make sure we show up this November and hold Republicans accountable."
DCCC National Political Director Brooke Butler:
"There is no path to the House majority without earning the support of AANHPI, Black, and Latino communities across the country. The DCCC's priority has been to engage voters early and often, and not take any vote for granted. America's hardworking families are hurting because of Republicans' cruel and costly agenda and that is why the American people will vote for Democrats come November."

*
Bombshell new reporting from the Daily Mail exposes Joe Mitchell in a "damning video" featuring a "vulgar rant" about women - along with multiple photos and videos of Mitchell including one where he "wrote that he was 'taking lots of xanx tonight,' adding 'and no one will stop me.'"
The reporting includes video of Mitchell"caught on camera crying about his 'd***' size" and "making a series of confounding outbursts about black women" while also "making negative remarks about white women."
Multiple sources tell the Daily Mail they came forward because "voters deserve 'the full picture' of who they are electing," called Mitchell "insane" and "a clown...basically known for being a ridiculous person," and said "the behavior portrayed in the video is 'consistent with his behavior' at the time."
Daily Mail: Damning video reveals vulgar rant of MAGA star Joe Mitchell, then-19, about 'black women' and not liking 'f***ing white people' while boasting about his own manhood
* A Donald Trump-endorsed Republican congressional candidate in Iowa was filmed in college talking about his manhood, challenging his black friends into a measuring contest and making a series of confounding outbursts about black women.
* Iowa Republican Joe Mitchell, 29, is running in Iowa's highly competitive 2nd District... But when he was a student at Drake University, he was caught on camera crying about his 'd***' size and talking about 'black women,' before adding that he wants to 'f*** J*****e,' a black woman he had a crush on at the time.
* 'I want to marry one,' Mitchell then said of black women in the video obtained by the Daily Mail.
* Mitchell responded in the video to one question, saying, 'I want my kids to not be white, ok?' because 'I don't like 'f***ing white people, ok?' before adding, 'why do you think I hang out with people that aren't white?'
* Mitchell is also seen challenging his inquisitors to compete in a competition about their manhood.
* 'Let's f***ing measure them. Prove it to me. Prove it to me right now,' he says. 'Forfeit! Forfeit! Forfeit!'
* 'You guys are the racist ones,' he implores, standing in front of a wall placard featuring then-Democrat and now Independent Senator Bernie Sanders.
* An attorney for the Mitchell campaign did not dispute the authenticity of the video...
* Two Snapchat screenshots shared with the Daily Mail appear to show Mitchell discussing his own 'alcohol violations' while he was a college student.
* In a post sent by Mitchell, screenshotted by a source, the future GOP candidate shared a selfie boasting about racking up '2 alcohol violations in a week.'
* In another screenshotted post, he wrote that he was 'taking lots of xanx tonight,' adding 'and no one will stop me.'
* The woman who provided the Daily Mail with the videos...said she expected him to blame the alcohol. 'We are all drunk and young once, but that doesn't make us any less accountable for our words,' she said.
* She told the Daily Mail she came forward because voters deserve 'the full picture' of who they are electing.
* A second source, a male who also knew Mitchell at the time the video was taken, believes the statements were indicative of his views then.
* The male source also revealed that Mitchell, on numerous occasions, claimed that he 'did not want white children, he frequently lamented that' and asked other people who were in the room when the 2017 videos were taken to 'hook him up with black women.'
* Mitchell was 'insane, he was a clown... he was basically known for being a ridiculous person,' said the source who hasn't spoken to Mitchell since college.
* A second woman, who said a couple of her friends dated Mitchell in college, also said the behavior portrayed in the video is 'consistent with his behavior' at the time...

RATINGS CHANGE: Cook Political Report Shifts TX-35 Towards Johnny Garcia, Now a Toss-Up
*
Independent race rater Cook Political Report today shifted their rating for Texas' 35th District in Johnny Garcia's favor to a toss-up, the latest alarm bell for political nepo baby Carlos De La Cruz's tanking campaign.
According to the analysis, "the underlying dynamics in Texas look more promising for Democrats this cycle -- particularly in a district that's 52% Hispanic." Years of brokenpromises and skyrocketing prices -- which De La Cruz has backed all the way -- have created a "particularly rough political environment for Republicans in Texas." As De La Cruz continues to latch himself onto Republicans' sinking ship, the race is Garcia's for the taking.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
"With prices up and life in South Texas this much harder, Carlos De La Cruz chose the wrong moment to try to ride his congresswoman sister's floundering coattails. While De La Cruz is hanging with the political elite, Johnny Garcia is building grassroots support with real South Texans, which is why they're going to send him to Congress in November."

RATINGS CHANGE: Cook Political Report Shifts AK-AL Towards Bill Hill as He Surges in Momentum
*
The non-partisan Cook Political Report just shifted their prediction for Alaska's At-Large District in Hill's direction -- the latest sign that he has the momentum to take down Nick Begich in a state Donald Trump won by 13 points.
Cook writes in part that "this race has seen significantly more ad spending than any other House race in the Likely Republican column, a sign that both partiesare treating this like a competitive race," adding that "this race has tightened."
The ratings change comes on the heels of two recent polls showing Hill within striking distance of Begich, including one showing a one point race. With less than two weeks until Election Day, Hill continues to talk to voters in every corner of Alaska about his campaign to lower costs, clean up Washington corruption, and put the working people of Alaska first.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
"Bill Hill has the momentum, Nick Begich is on the ropes, and Republicans are hemorrhaging resources to defend a seat they once considered safe. Alaskans are fed up with Begich bending the knee to billionaires and his party in Washington at their expense, and are going to elect a hardworking, independent fisherman in Bill who will fight tooth and nail to put them first in Congress."

Nevada Current: Iran war, rising costs threaten Nevada revenue outlook, state economic panel warned
KUNR: Effects of higher gas prices ripple down to Food Bank of Northern Nevada
Welcome back to your weekly rundown of the damage the Lombardo-Trump economy is doing to Nevada -- from driving up costs to leaving working families behind.
With just 11 days until Election Day, Joe Lombardo is cozying up to the Trump administrationand a former private equity CEO who raised rents while ignoring the harsh reality that Nevadans are facing. Lombardo has had four years to lower costs but instead, everything from gas to health care to groceries to housing has gone up on his watch.
And while Nevada families are forced to pay an extra $2,000 from Trump's seemingly endless war with Iran costs, Lombardo asked his "commanding officer" to spend even more tax dollars on funding this cost-raising conflict. Now, diesel prices have hit a record high and local food banks are spending $7,000 more every month on gas since March.
Here are the latest headlines on the Lombardo-Trump economy:
Nevada Independent: As Nevada's 24-hour economy grows, working parents struggle to find overnight childcare
News From The States: An unaffordable economy's 'culminating venue': Eviction court
KUNR: Effects of higher gas prices ripple down to Food Bank of Northern Nevada
News 4: Nevada diesel prices hit record high

Fraudulent Flippo's Bruising Week Part 4 (Fraud Freight Train Edition)
*
David Flippo's flailing campaign endured yet another bruising week as his "fraud freight train" kept going full speed ahead, its cargo of controversy growing heavier by the day.
First, Fraudulent Flippo's week started with retiring Republican Representative Mark Amodei calling him a fraud and saying he would "absolutely not" vote for him.
Then the Wall Street Journal reported on the Flippo campaign claiming to have receiveda max out donation from someone who died in 2024. As they run out of excuses, this time, they decided to blame "clerical errors."
Then, the Washington Post revealed that former NV GOP Chair Bob Seale filed a complaint against Flippo for his rap sheet and said he would be voting for Teresa Benitez-Thompson.
Then, Mother Jones reported a continuation of its investigation into Flippo's fake financial disclosure and uncovered his "batshit" venture that experts call a "huge red flag."
Finally (for now), Amodei went on CNN to call out Flippo's stolen valor, being relieved of his command, carpetbagging, and shady financial practices.
As more Northern Nevadans become aware of the extent of Flippo's fraud, unprecedented coalitions are forming to beat him as he continues to evade accountability and dodge debates.
In case you missed any of the many stories and scandals surrounding Fraudulent Flippo, see coverage from Flippo's bruising week below:
WSJ: "The campaign of Republican David Flippo, who faces an unexpectedly tough race to fill a red House seat in Nevada, credited a dead woman from a prominent Nevada family for a donation, according to federal disclosures."
Washington Post: "The Federal Election Commission complaint against David Flippo cites reporting on his personal finances and campaign finance reports, and calls for an investigation."
CNN: "This has been one comedy of errors after another."
Politico: "Retiring GOP congressmember will 'absolutely not' vote for successor in at-risk seat"
Mother Jones: "Experts say land venture linked to David Flippo is 'Batshit' and a 'Huge Red Flag'"
MS NOW: "So why does Congressman Mark Amodei say he will absolutely not vote for GOP nominee David Flippo? Amodei cited a series of allegations against Flippo as disqualifying."
KOLO: "David Flippo, the Republican nominee for Nevada's 2nd Congressional District, has declined requests for an interview with KOLO 8 News"
KTVN: "We need to know where he gets his money," said Susan Fisher, a former lobbyist and is a registered Republican. "Is it personal funds? He claims he's loaned himself over $1.5 million."
This is Reno: "The FEC complaint was filed Monday, Oct. 20 by former Nevada Treasurer and former State Republican Party Chair Robert Seale. In it, Seale asks the FEC to investigate the source of Flippo's reported campaign loans -- more than $1.8 million -- and whether his campaign accurately identified donors."
Nevada Current: "So Flippo should take a moment to reflect on and relish this moment. He may not realize it now, but both the Journal and the Post (twice!) writing about him likely marks the zenith of his political "career."
The Record-Courier: "In my opinion, he ran a disingenuous campaign and bought Trump's endorsement with Southern Nevada and out-of-state money. Recent questions about his military awards simply confirmed my suspicions of his character. He approved the statement and as Truman said, "the buck stops here."
Reno Gazette Journal: "With the V device, it's a whole different matter," he said. "He blames his grandchildren? My God, who throws their grandkids under the bus? That goes to character. That to me says more than wearing the V device."

Voters who tuned in saw a clear contrast between Dembo's record of service versus his opponent Ralph Alvarado's record of corruption. A vote for Dembo is a vote for change, while a vote for Alvarado is a vote for everything that's wrong with the broken and corrupt political system that is costing Central Kentuckians."
