NEW: Republicans redrew #FL22 to make it more red, but the race is now seen as a toss up
Dem Pia Dandiya is running against Republican Casey Askar, who’s nowhere to be seen
I went down to the district and looked everywhere for him — here’s what happened

Given how much Paxton/Rs have tried to imply things about Talarico’s personal life, it’s a tough posture to now say Paxton’s personal life is off limits. Good NYT story here about the woman influencer behind the Paxton scenes.

Interesting to see @RepHudsonNC campaigning for @lawler4ny as his district 550~ miles away is now (sorta?) competitive.
Last time an NRCC or DCCC chair lost their own race was … right there in Hudson Valley 4 years ago when Lawler beat @SeanPMaloney !
I had fun yesterday with @ChrisStirewalt on his Sunday show & we geeked out over measuring "the wave". Sorry for so much math, but people need to calm down.
A +15 Dem night matches 1994/Newt "revolution" & +20 matches Pelosi/2018.
(Sorry for math.)

This is the most natural, best pairing for a political/policy newsletter from the Hill. @ReporterOriana @igorbobic are the absolute best.

ICYMI: An unpublished federal document obtained by @nicolebelcastro of @washingtonsun sheds light of Kimberly Guilfoyle’s personal finances — including her debts.
Here’s what we discovered: washingtonsun.com/influence/…
I wrote this 3 years ago today, when Rs picked a guy so little known that a Google search of his name yielded a retired NHL player, a Toyota car dealer in NC, a country music steel guitarist. But not @SpeakerJohnson …
He’s covered “over” bet on how long he’d last in job …

In a year when Democratic candidates arguing for new generation of progressives to take the reins two older Democrats in Ohio argue for "fighting blood" not "new blood" from @pkcapitol washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…
The people that hold Congress together are the Laura Lytle’s of the world. Not high profiles but doing critically important jobs so rest of us can function. Here’s a tribute to her as told through her good friend Joe Keenan. Full interview here:

Dems have two old-timers running in Ohio when the public mood is yet again change. But Sherrod Brown and Marcy Kaptur have been doing the new change thing — blue-collar populism — since Reagan had two more years in his term. @pkcapitol takes a look. washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…
No one has walked the walk on worker issues like @SherrodBrown @Marcy_Kaptur - Dems are rushing to embrace their ethos.
Yet their legitimacy (more than 75 years in Congress pushing agenda) could be their kryptonite.
My @washingtonsun column ...

Supporters in OH told me age & tenure in Washington doesn't matter.
Their mantra: "We need fighting blood", not "new blood."
Brown & Kaptur have fought that fight. Now the issue is whether Rs unyielding ads about how old they are will turn voters away.
