A top GOP super PAC supported by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., made a last ditch effort in their bid to keep hold of the House over the weekend.
According to a memo from Congressional Leadership Fund executive director Corry Bliss to donors, the group made 1 million voter contacts in 40 battleground congressional districts. In total this cycle, CLF’s national field program has made 35 million voter contacts.
“CLF has been working for a year and a half to combat unprecedented Democratic spending and enthusiasm with the only House-focused field program in the country, focusing on GOTV efforts to increase Republican turnout,” Bliss wrote in the memo obtained by the Washington Examiner.
“The 20 races that will decide the majority remain too close to call, and CLF is fighting district-by-district to ensure Republicans keep the House,” Bliss wrote.

CLF is the top outside Republican PAC pushing to keep the House on Tuesday and has operated 40 field offices nationwide as they look to minimize their losses on Tuesday. Democrats need to flip 23 seats to take control of the lower chamber.
According to the Cook Political Report, Democrats are projected to win between 30-40 seats on Tuesday, including many in suburban areas held by Republicans. Additionally, Democrats hold a 7.2-percentage point advantage in the generic ballot.
“Republicans can succeed tomorrow if we turn out our voters, and CLF is doing everything we can to make sure Republicans in key districts vote,” Bliss said.
