Election Day is Every Tuesday: April 27 - May 3, 2026
Big week for Texas...
This week the biggest elections are NYC City Council District 3 on Tuesday and Texas State Senate District 4 on Saturday, which is a potential flip. Otherwise, we have a recall in California, some local races in Florida and Delaware, and dozens of races in Texas besides the State Senate race.
So, let’s get started!
And I would love your feedack. Are these guides helpful? How could I make them more helpful. Also, I’m partnering with Sway.co and will start putting the info from these guides there as well, so make sure to sign up to my voting group!
Early voting open in: AZ, GA, ID, LA, MI, NE, OH, OR, SD, TN and WV primaries, as well as MN special election

Ron Angeletti DEMOCRAT Priorities: supporting teachers, improving classroom resources, and ensuring all students, including those with disabilities, have real opportunities to succeed. He also highlights broader community concerns such as rising property taxes, strained infrastructure, flood risks, and access to quality healthcare, framing his priorities around practical solutions that better reflect and serve everyday families rather than partisan politics
