Pence planning visits to Nevada, Pennsylvania in push for Republicans in midterms

Source: The Hill

BY MAX GREENWOOD - 01/09/18 09:44 AM EST

Vice President Pence is planning swings through Nevada and Pennsylvania to campaign for Republicans facing upcoming elections.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Pence is expected to visit western Pennsylvania later this month to show support for State Rep. Rick Saccone, a Republican vying for a U.S. House seat in a March 13 special election. Pence is also set to travel to Nevada later this week for an appearance with Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.), who is facing a tough re-election bid this fall.

Beyond that, Pence is also trying to help recruit a GOP Senate candidate to challenge Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). Josh Mandel, a Republican who had previously launched a bid against Brown, dropped out of the race last week.

Republicans are working to hold onto their congressional majorities in 2018, as Democrats hope to capitalize on President Trump's low popularity to make gains in GOP-held districts.

our side needs to compete everywhere. Take nothing for granted. Their side needs to defend their seats in places that used to be safe for them. More than anything, we need to get our based excited to turn out and vote like in Virginia and Alabama recently.

Many of their voters are wondering when they'll get the coal and factory jobs Trump promised them. Why are the tax cuts taking so long to trickle down to them?

and apparently Democrats outnumber Republicans in registration in that district (per wikipedia, by something like 70,000), although that is not getting reflected in who is getting elected in that area.

Here is a case of literal guerilla GOTV!
