Remember Eric Swalwell? Well, after this week we can hopefully forget him forever.

Election Day is Every Tuesday Aug 17-

Eric Swalwell’s vacant seat will finally be filled after Tuesday’s election!

Can’t wait to never hear his name again, I hope.

Also on Tuesday are primaries in: AK, FL and WY. There is also a PA State House special, that would be a flip if we won, and a race in IA that is unfortunately uncontested. We can’t do anything about that one, but I think it’s important to acknowledge how often that happens.

As with all primaries, We’ve included links to all the voter guides we can find, including a few Sway voting groups, which include recommendations by people’s who’s opinions you might trust.

And just a reminder to join my voting group, Election Day is Every Tuesday, so that I know to cover your next election!

Without further ado, the guide:

You can still early vote if you are registered in:

AK 8/18 — Midterm Primary (MP) — Early In Person Voting (EIP) Thru 8/17
MA 9/1 — MP — EIP 8/22-8/28
RI 9/8 — MP — EIP 8/19-9/8
WY 8/18 — MP — EIP thru 8/17
