Summary

In the spirit of Ted Lasso, we're leaving it all on the field this make it or break it election for our democracy. The polls are within the Margin of Effort: every single outreach we make to voters matters, because every single vote matters. In this interview with CA-27 U.S. House candidate Christy Smith, a longtime advocate for education who began her public service career as P.T.A. mom, we discuss how things are different in 2022 compared to when she ran for office against far-right extremist Republican Mike Garcia in 2020, where she lost by only 333 votes.

We're getting Smith over the finish line. Join our phonebank party Sunday October 30th 2pm EST with Swing Left and special guest Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman. This is an event you're not going to want to miss! RSVP here!
