    #NewYork don't forget you have #PrimaryElections today!
    This is your chance to decide who represents your party on the November ballot!
    Double check your district, because some have primaries for only one party or the other.
    You can look up you district information and candidates on ballotpedia.org/Main_Page

    Meanwhile, the Democratic game plan:

    1. Bodily autonomy & freedom.

    2. Following science.

    3. Protecting voting rights.

    4. Accountability for all those involved in a violent coup attempt.

    5. Expanding health, childcare& education programs.

    6. Gun safety.

    7. A science-based pandemic response to protect as many people as possible.

    8. Working to end discrimination against marginalized communities.

    9. Keeping the economy running.

    10. Repairing and expanding our infrastructure systems.

    There is no comparison. Democrats work #ForThePeople while Republicans are actively trying to control and/or kill us.

    Just one this week, but still important.

    #Texas has a #SpecialElection for House of Representatives District 118. This seat is currently empty, last held by Leo Pacheco(D) who resigned to teach public administration at SAC.

    With everything going on in Texas as of late, it's vital to make sure that this seat stays blue!

    This Tuesday, July 20th

    Only one election on the calendar this week. Westminster, #Colorado is holding a #RecallElection for Westminster City Councillor Voelz

    I've seen quite a few recall elections lately, make sure you know the issues at the heart of the recall! From water rates and infrastructure management to mask mandates and pandemic emergency orders, from aiding insurrectionists to alleged abuses of power.

    These recalls matter. Some are justified, some are frivolous wastes of taxpayers money. It's up to YOU to decide in these recall elections. Are the people elected to work for the will and interest of the people in your community doing their job or pursuing their own agendas?
    Your vote is your voice. Use it! #EveryElectionMatters

    This is one of the reasons I've started posting about local elections.
    'Oh it's just a district court judge or a mayor, or city council rep, no big deal'

    But it is. These lower courts and councils are where the groundwork is laid and judges move up the ladder.
    RBG didn't just walk off the street &get her seat on the bench, neither did Roberts.
    If we want a Supreme Court that upholds democracy, we have to keep voting and remind others that #EveryElectionMatters

  8. @GlennGriffin8
    A perfect example of why we have to be aware of elections on the local level as much as the national ones!
    Imagine how it would have affected your community if that vote had gone differently!

    I'm going to start keeping these in a file so we can remember them when anyone tries to say they don't. #EveryElectionMatters

  10. Any free time tonight?

    Team Beto is holding a phonebank later today for Deborah Peoples, a great candidate running for Mayor of Ft. Worth.

    ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW!!!

    Mayors have tremendous power and we very obviously need progressives in elected office in Texas. Also, if elected, Peoples will make history as Fort Worth’s first Black Mayor.

    I've called with Beto's group many times. Their dialer is great, their trainers outstanding, and the experience is fun. You only will be calling Democratic voters to remind them to vote. #GOTV #CTA #Texas #EveryElectionMatters :CTA:

    Join a virtual event with Beto on Friday, June 4-
    Let's get to work! Can you join us?

  11. I forgot to mention last week in regards to Pennsylvania's #PrimaryElections and #SpecialElections that Democrats won our race in PA's 22nd State Senate District on Tuesday. I phonebanked for Marty Flynn a number of times so it was particularly satisfying to see him win.

    As I see it, there is one way out of the mess we're in, the same strategy we've used and that's worked for us: treating every single race a Democrat is running in like it's a vital election, because each one is. If we can keep matching that level of enthusiasm, engagement, and turnout--up and down the ballot, we are going to be OK. And better than OK. But we have to do the work and turn up and turn voters out.

    Let's keep asking ourselves "which election am I helping with right now?"

    And congratulations to Marty Flynn. #EveryElectionMatters
