This is a Google sheet I created for myself and friends to help us choose the pick-up races each of us wanted to support. The tool contains information on over the 100+ races where the Dem candidate has anywhere from even odds to long shot chance of winning averaging Cook, Daily Kos, Sabato, 538. The tool lets you prioritize 5 primary critieria: odds of winning, whether the district is located in a high stakes state, how good the Dem candidate, how extreme the GOP candidate, and “Bang for Your Buck”.
The tool dives deeper than Flippable and Swing Left in several ways:
- Ranks candidates/races based on your personal priorities
- Offers info on wide range of criteria as FEC reports, polling results, campaign ads, etc.
- Regularly updates as new info becomes available
- Fully annotated, providing links to references and candidates' websites
- Can be downloaded for personal use/modification
You can share the tool here:
mycandidate.in/get-my-list . To use the sheet, click on “File” then “Make a Copy” if you have a Google Drive account. Or you can download an Excel or Numbers copy. View this
video for more detailed instruction.
I hope you find this useful! Check back in for updated info on the odds of winning and campaign funding reports. Any suggestions to improve the tool are welcome!
