Think Dobbs won’t affect election results? Think again.
In New York’s 19th Congressional District, in a state where abortion is legal and protected, Pat Ryan made sure people knew that the GOP was considering a national ban and he would not stand for that.
In a district where the polling only focused on seniors and Pat Ryan was expected to lose by 3-8 points
Pat Ryan won. Democrat voters, worried about what Congressional Republicans would do after Dobbs, got the message and came out in a special election on a 2nd primary (not getting into that here, check out my other posts on the NYS primary election season) to make sure Pat Ryan won.
Pat Ryan is already making sure my district NY-18 also gets that message and comes out in force to vote for him in November (again, see my posts on NYS electoral maps for explanation on how that is possible). My region is very familiar of what the GOP is capable of.
This didn’t just happen in New York but it is notable because NY-19 is a true swing district and it impacted an election.
So if enough of us get the message and keep the fire burning to November, we can flip congressional districts. Do not believe any Republican running for the House or Senate that claims abortion will only be a states issue because they are lying.
