My U.S. Representative Could Lose Her Next Election

Tweet

I live in one of four districts in Orange County, California which have a Republican U.S. Representative, but Hillary Clinton won the most votes during the last election. This means that the Democrats have grown in strength over the past few years, despite the fact that Orange County is traditionally a Republican stronghold. There are pockets of other U.S. representatives across the country who are also considered vulnerable, but a lot of attention has been focused in the districts in Orange County, California. My representative, Mimi Walters, has refused to hold a town hall meeting. She also has refused to go into her local office, because protestors are there nearly every day. She is not answering calls. However, by using the website Countable to comment on various bills, I have managed to get her to respond to five different comments I have sent over the past few weeks. There is a group which has dedicated itself to seeing that Mimi will not win the next election. I hope they are successful. Their goal is to flip the House of Representatives from Republican control to Democratic control during the 2018 Midterm elections. I don't know if they can succeed. I do know that I voted for Mimi in the past and I do not plan to vote for her in the future. I have been very unhappy with some of her anti-environment and anti-women's rights votes. The last election is barely over, and we are already gearing up for the mid-term 2018 election. Are their activist groups gearing up in your state (if you are in the U.S.) or are there controversial political issues going on in your country (if you live outside the U.S.)?
