Here's The Great Slate of thirteen House candidates: "Each of them is a first-time progressive candidate with no ties to the political establishment, an excellent campaign team, and a clear path to victory in a poor, rural district that is being ignored by the national Democratic Party. None of the candidates takes money from corporations."

The Great Slate is from from Tech Solidarity:

You can read up on their candidates and read interviews with each of them here:

Tech Solidarity: The Great Slate

As with #GrabYourBallot, you can donate to the whole slate or individually to personal favourites (they have a dude who was inspired by the Women's March to run, running against Steve King, "possibly the worst man in Congress"!).

So. These are all long shots, but they're not no-hopers, and they have potential to cause Republicans trouble and at least make them have to fight for places they don't expect to have to fight for (which soaks up money and energy which they then don't have for fights elsewhere).
