The aim is to claim five Republican-held House seats in congressional districts that went for Joe Biden in 2020 and hold on to another Democratic seat.
Rep. Michael Lawler , seen at the Capitol in Washington on Oct. 9, is among a group of New York Republicans being targeted by a new coalition of activists and unions. Just more than a year ago, Republicans in New York state flipped several congressional seats, helping usher in a GOP majority in the House.
In a statement, Pamela Shifman, president of the Democracy Alliance, emphasized that the coalition is committed “to building the long-term infrastructure of the mulit-racial working-class voter base in New York. ” The coalition, as well as other Democratic-aligned groups, identified the New York races early on as key to retaking the majority. And many say that after the 2022 elections, they learned that early engagement with voters in these districts is crucial.“Part of the lesson that we drew was that we needed to build something much earlier and much more comprehensive,” said Helen Schaub, interim political director of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East.
When asked for comment, New York House Republicans broadly asserted that Democrats are aiming to misrepresent their records in office.
