Election Day is Every Tuesday 9/7-13

Hello! Lots of elections this week. I have an incredible group of volunteers, but, unfortunately, I don’t have enough to cover every race this week, which tells you how many elections there were.

I don’t want to take up too much time with an intro so you can dig into the races before polls close. We’re looking at a bunch of municipal races and VA-11, Gerry Connolly’s old seat in Congress.

Please remember this guide is very long and you will not be able to look at it in email, especially if you are looking for a specific state. So either open it on your browser or in the app.

Tue Sep 9 - CO, CT, FL, IA, MD, MA, MT, NC, NE, OH, OK, SC and VA

Thu Sep 11 - TN

Huge thank you to my incredible volunteers: Michelle RF Masters, Nancy, Rachel, and Lisa S
