From The Daily Kos:

CONNECTICUT SENATE SPECIAL ELECTION FEBRUARY 28

Prior to the November 2016 election Democrats enjoyed a 21-15 majority in the State Senate. Republicans gained 3 seats to tie the chamber at 18-18. Two vacancies arose since the election, one Democrat, and one Republican seat. Whoever wins these races could determine which party controls the chamber.

Special elections are notorious for their remarkably low turnout and low turnout elections all tend to favor the Republican on the ballot. We must engage in these races to drive turnout as much as possible. And there is little time. Below are the Democratic candidates that need your support. If you are in the New England states these races I am certain could use your help.

Senate District 32 was formerly a Republican seat and House District 115 poses the hardest seat to win of the 3 (according to a local kossak). I am sure they can all use help though.

I believe there is public financing for these state races in Connecticut.

Not Going Back!

Today's Daily Action is to call on both of your Senators to publicly condemn the Trump administration’s reversal of Obama's recently enacted protections for transgender students, which played a critical role in reducing the alarmingly high suicide rate among transgender teens--and all because Trump wants to score political points with the extremists of the religious right.
