CA Governor (jungle)

Iowa Governor (R)

South Dakota Governor (R)

Iowa Senate (D)
[Turek (moderate) v Wahls (progressive)]

CA-11 [Pelosi’s district - jungle - Chakrabarti (progressive), Chan (Pelosi endorsed) & Weiner (CA Dem party)]

NJ-12 [Bernie/AIC candidate Hamawy v. Dem party candidate Altman]

LA Mayor (jungle) - Bass (D incumbent), Raman (progressive), Pratt (MAGAish GOP)

I've had a lot of interviews with national media. No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. No one's asked me about the cost of prescription drugs. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%. Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Undocumented people aren't defunding our schools. It's the billionaires and their puppet politicians

He is so impressive. I would think the same even if he was on the other side of the aisle.

California Election Month starts tonight. Hoping Pratt and Hilton make the run off. Make California Great Again!

Totally agree. If Texas can only get its head out of its ass, it has a chance to do something good here. Sadly, it won’t.

The Religious Right is especially powerful in Texas (lots of televangelists, Joel Osteen, diehard Trumper Robert Jeffress of Dallas First Baptist) and they seem to regard Talarico as a mortal threat who must be decisively defeated and discredited. As a dynamic, articulate, and passionate advocate for Progressive Christianity he is their worst nightmare. If he gets elected to the Senate he might be able to show people in places like Texas that the "Old-Time Religion" is not the only version of Christianity in this country and that there are legitimate alternatives and suddenly guys like Jeffress might have real competition. So he must be destroyed, and they'll do whatever it takes to beat him.
 


Sand was widely expected to win easily but is considered a legit candidate for Iowa governor despite being a D.
