The 7 Targeted Congressional Districts

The 7 Targeted Congressional Districts

Partisan extremism is being felt in almost every congressional district from the Twin Cities to the Quad Cities. To fix this, the Driftless Rivers Coalition hopes to field candidates that are willing to challenge the incumbent in all 7 of these districts. 

State House and State Senate incumbents will also be targets for the Driftless Rivers Coalition where the policies they support reflect partisan goals, and not necessarily what is best for the rural lifestyle we all enjoy in the Driftless Area.
