My school representing.....

Ten George Washington University alumni secured wins in the 2022 midterm elections for Congress, including one member re-elected to a second term in the Senate and six members re-elected to the House of Representatives.
Of the successful alumni elected to Congress, three won campaigns in their first efforts at running for a seat in the nation’s legislature.
All will be part of the 118th U.S. Congress and will be sworn-in on Jan. 3, 2023.
Locally, another alumnus, Democrat Matthew Frumin, J.D. ’88, was elected as the D.C. councilmember for Ward 3, which represents the Mount Vernon Campus. He is succeeding GW Law Professor Mary Cheh.
Here are the results, race by race:
Tammy Duckworth, M.A. ’92, Honorary Doctor of Public Service ’17: U.S. Senate representing Illinois
Duckworth, a Democrat, defeated Republican challenger Kathy Salvi by a 56-42% margin to earn a second Senate term. Two other alumni are in the Senate—Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), ATT ’66-’68, and Mark Warner (D-Va.), B.A. ’77—but were not up for re-election.
Julia Brownley, B.A. ’75: California’s 26th District
Brownley, a Democrat, bested Republican challenger Matt Jacobs with almost 55% of the vote, as of Tuesday morning. She will serve a sixth House term.
Neal Dunn, M.D. ’79: Florida’s 2nd District
Dunn, a Republican, won a fourth term in the House by defeating Democratic challenger Al Lawson, earning nearly 60% of the vote.
Andrew Garbarino, B.A. ’06: New York’s 2nd District
Garbarino, a Republican, defeated Democratic challenger Jackie Gordon by taking 61% of the vote to earn a second House term.
Darren Soto, J.D. ’04: Florida’s 9th District
Soto, a Democrat, earned a fourth House term by fending off Republican challenger Scotty Moore. Soto earned nearly 54% of the vote.
William Timmons, B.A. ’06: South Carolina’s 4th District
Timmons, a Republican, won an unopposed race to secure a third House term.
Susan Wild, J.D. ’82: Pennsylvania’s 7th District
Wild, a Democrat, edged out Republican challenger Lisa Scheller with 50.8% of the vote to Scheller’s 49.2%. This will be her third term in the House.
Newly elected to the House
Erin Houchin, M.P.S ’12: Indiana’s 9th District

Houchin, a Republican, won her first House seat by beating Democratic challenger Matthew Fyfe with 63% of the vote. She will succeed Trey Hollingsworth, a Republican who did not seek re-election.
Jared Moskowitz, B.A. ’03: Florida’s 23rd District
Moskowitz, a Democrat, knocked off Republican Joe Budd with 51.6% of the vote to earn a first term in the House. He replaces Democratic incumbent Ted Deutch, who did not seek re-election.
Jill Tokuda, B.A. ’98: Hawaii’s 2nd District
Tokuda, a Democrat, beat Republican challenger Joe Akana by securing just over 62% of the vote. A first-time House member-elect, she will succeed Kai Kahele, who served one term in Congress before pursuing Hawaii’s governorship in 2022, which Democrat Josh Green ultimately won.

I appreciate the spirit in which this is offered, but I cannot in good conscience ever give any Democrat the direction to "sit back". It's just too dangerous to leave out there.
they can sit back and watch the shit show and get shit done at the same time

Most of these dudes are ops. They're like our current ados/don't vote assholes on here. They want to be seen as a power but they're not. They want Dems to lose in the hopes they'll be taken seriously.
I'm one of those "don't vote assholes" :hmm:

Although I did vote for Warnock and Abrams the results are that nearly everyone I voted for lost.

I believe "the only way to win is to not play", until we get our own candidates.

Think about it for a minute. The GOP is doing all it can to keep you from voting and you want to give them what they want to make a point.

Does that sound smart to you?

Its not about them getting what they want, its about us getting what we NEED

We gotta stop playing defense and play OFFENSE.

By voting or not voting? I’m a little confused as to what constitutes offense at this point. I know their offense is to restrict Black and Brown voting power as much as possible and to pack the courts with right leaning judges.

By not voting, kinda sounds like their offense and the “non voting” offense are moving in the same direction.

Offense means stepping back and taking account of the macro and strategizing on how we can best get our needs met. Clearly we see that it's not by voting for candidates that don't represent us or our needs.

Stop voting, not indefinitely, just long enough to groom our own candidates that represent us, specifically, first.

That's how we score.
We ain't gon never score on our end of the court, constantly on our heels, getting posted up and dunked on.

How about working on county and state referendums instead? Also creating a black pollster too since they love them.

Not sure I understand this. Why would black men be happy she lost?

Don't believe the Quarterback pump-fake hype

According to the actual raw data, more Black males voted for Stacy Abrams in 2022 than in 2018. The part these GRIFTING ass-hat clowns leave out is that more White voters voted AGAINST Stacy Abrams in 2022 than in 2018 when it was a razor thin margin. They love pretending they had a huge impact on an election when they did not. The doofus NEVER VOTE grifters post false narratives on spaces such as twitter for LIKES, or even disrupting campaign events for MAGA SuperPAC tangible checks (some were exposed).
