Democrats in the campaign trenches believe their party has a legitimate shot at retaking the U.S. House of Representatives in November.

But they know it won’t be easy, thanks to gerrymandering and the common attitude among voters everywhere that Congress as a whole is terrible but their particular representative is great.

Which is why Claude Taylor, a former minor factotum in the Clinton administration, is seeking to pepper the districts of vulnerable Republican lawmakers with anti-incumbent billboard messages. And that targeting includes Oregon’s 2nd district, home to the state’s lone Republican member of Congress, Greg Walden. Below is a “draft” anti-Walden billboard tweet from Taylor.

Is Walden vulnerable to a possible "Blue Wave" in November? He has been a popular congressman in his district, successfully winning election every two years since 1998, but progressives have slammed him for supporting the recently passed Republican tax-reform bill and for backing the repeal of net neutrality. And The Oregonian has revealed that Walden secretly paid $7,000 to settle a former staffer's complaint that the congressman "unfairly cut his hours due to his combat-related health problems."

Plus, Taylor isn’t the only one targeting the Oregon Republican. The Western Values Project, a public-lands advocacy group, plans to spend $1 million against Walden and two other GOP House members.

Walden responded to the group's effort in December with a statement calling on the Trump administration "to follow the law when it comes to management of our public lands, especially in southern Oregon. I am a strong supporter of private property rights, and for multiple use on our public lands."

But Taylor’s very partisan billboard messages are likely to get more attention than the Western Values Project's advertising.

That's because Taylor is willing to fight dirty -- or, depending on your point of view, rough. His billboard messages highlight Republican House members' personal foibles and often accuse them of being in league with Russia.

Matt Gaetz, for example, is a 35-year-old Florida Republican who has aggressively backed President Trump. He recently defended Trump's controversial alleged remarks about Haiti and African countries, saying "that the conditions in Haiti are deplorable. They are disgusting. Everywhere you look in Haiti it's sheet metal and garbage."

Taylor's billboard message focuses on Gaetz's 2008 arrest for driving while intoxicated.

Another favorite target of Taylor's has been Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan, who has said the FBI plotted to keep Trump out of the White House. Taylor accuses Jordan of undermining Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible Trump campaign collusion with Russia.

Taylor has come up with dozens of other anti-Republican billboard messages, but how many will actually make it onto billboards remains to be seen. Political advertising costs money, of course. And, he said recently on Twitter, “most of the large outdoor ad companies won’t rent tough, edgy billboards.”
