Attractive young female minority veteran with leftist-ish policies. That's a lot of the right blocks checked. I mean, if Joni Ernst can be a Senator, Tulsi Gabbard can be president.

Kansas has learned nothing from Air Bud

quote:

Kansas officials say a dog whose owner filed for the animal to run for governor will be disqualified, even though there are no state statutes covering candidates' qualifications.

The Kansas City Star reports that Terran Woolley of Hutchinson, Kan., entered his three-year-old wire terrier, Angus, in the race after news reports surfaced that the state does not have requirements governing who can run for the office.

“A dog will not be allowed to file and put its name on the ballot,” said Bryan Caskey, director of elections for the Kansas secretary of State’s office.

politico has a good article about the young, mostly progressive challengers to old, mostly moderate democrats in places like NYC, Massachusetts, and Chicago. for some bonus points: spot the profiled challenger that doesn't belong!

one of those established democrats getting a challenge, Joe Crowley, has also been trying to establish himself as a would-be leader of House dems, but he's probably tilting at windmills. pelosi is poo poo and needs to step aside as leader, but at the very least, she talked about protecting immigrants for eight hours on the House floor, so she's taken more of a stand on an issue than crowley has

by the time pelosi's gangs of 70-somethings are out of power in the house, the political tide will have turned against people like crowley. i was surprised at the amount of house democrats getting a primary challenge this year, i figured it was close to nothing

Going to be fun if even a few get through because that would definitely make some waves, hell I bet some of the news media might hype it because a interparty civil war would probably get more hits.

i think lipinski is going to lose because he's got two members of Chicago's house members actively supporting one of his challengers. i doubt that any of the NYC-based members will lose. tbh i think Patel is a bit of an underwhelming candidate. i can't explain why, but he just strikes me as less of a credible left challenger than the other two

In the past couple of days I've gotten emails from both the Working Families Party and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee over candidates for Congress that they've endorsed. I'll have to cross-reference with Our Revolution and Justice Democrats and make the list bigger, but there's sure to be plenty of overlap.
  • Katie Wilson (NY-21)
  • Andy Kim (NJ-03)
  • Greg Edwards (PA-07)
  • Jess King (PA-11)
  • Liz Watson (IN-09)
  • Rashida Tlaib (MI-13)
  • Randy Bryce (WI-01)
  • Kara Eastman (NE-02)
  • Brent Welder (KS-03)
  • Veronica Escobar (TX-16)
  • Katie Porter (CA-45)
  • Mike Levin (CA-49)
  • Ammar Campa-Najjar (CA-50)
  • Kaniela Ing (HI-01)
James Thompson is also running again in KS-04, and Moser has a runoff election in her Texas district in May.
