[House Mini-bus Vote] Targets | All House Dems
Any group able to do a blast to the hill opposing riders in this and other mini-busses would be very helpful. It is our understanding that Dem leadership will be opposing the package, but we’ll need help from groups to bolster rank-and-file Dems in opposing this package given generally good funding levels and funding for the VA among other priorities. We are working on some potential products that would be great for groups to amplify next week (op-eds, social guidance etc.).

[Senate Interior and Environment Markup]Targets | Sub | Leahy, Merkley, Van Hollen, Tester, and Alexander
Full | Add Durbin, Udall, Baldwin, Collins, and Manchin
We need all groups to reach out to Committee Members before the markup: The message here is both 1) Hold firm with your fellow Dems on no anti-environmental riders, 2) Please be careful/avoid pushing provisions that could be considered riders and upend no-riders agreements.
Over the next few weeks --
