I'm just a concerned American citizen doing what I can to help save democracy and the planet for Gen Z by electing as many Democratic candidates as possible at the federal, statewide & especially local (state legislative) levels.

The Michigan state Senate isn't up for re-election until 2026, but all 110 state House offices are up this November. I'm including 28...
Pennsylvania held their primary yesterday, so I've gone ahead and filled in the rest of my PA Legislative fundraising page. There are two Democratic nominees who don't seem to have active ActBlue pages at this time; I'll update the page if &...
Nebraska has a U.S. Senate situation which may sound similar to Georgia in 2020: Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts (both of whom are Republicans in this red state) are both up for re-election at the same time this November due to former Governor Ricketts being appointed to fill out the remainder of Ben Sasse's term after Sasse resigned.
Nebraska Democrats are only officially running a candidate against Ricketts for his partial (2-year) term: Professor & activist Preston...
A few days ago I wrote up a deep dive into the finances of one of the numerous "Save Democracy!" left-leaning Political Action Committees which has been clogging up my in box with fundraising requests daily for the past several months.
