We’re definitely in trouble in both TX-23 and GA-07, both of which were very close in 2018 and are now open. We have good nominees, and I’m not counting them out by any stretch of the imagination, but they will be our toughest holds.

I agree that Tony Gonzales has a fight to hold TX-23. I think the close races, plus frustration with Trump, made Will Hurd retire. Trump lost TX-23 by 3.2 points.

But why are you worried about retiring Rob Woodall's seat in GA-07? Trump won it by nearly 7 points (51.1 - 44.8), and both McCain and Romney took 60% of the vote there. It has a PVI of R+9. The GOP candidate is a former U.S. Marine and ER doc, Rich McCormick*.

Nearly lost in 2018 and I think there were way more rat primary votes this year. Romney’s numbers are ancient history, unfortunately. Atlanta suburbs are turning to the dark side.

I’m worried about GA-07 because (i) Woodall was not scandal-tarred yet barely won it in 2018 (less than a 0.5% victory margin IIRC) and (ii) the Dem turnout in the primary was much higher than the GOP turnout. But I agree that we have a great candidate in GA-07 (as well as in TX—23), and I am certainly not writing it off. Given our recent performance in those formerly safe suburban Atlanta CDs, I would not be surprised if we failed to hold GA-07 and didn’t win back GA-06 either. We can win both races, but we just as easily could lose them both.
