Was it not a seat flip? Don't republicans only control the legislature by a single seat?

nope. He is replacing Boysko who replaced Wexton. Either way, it is a huge win because more Muslim representation in the state house is nothing but a good thing. Also he is hella progressive.

I did some phone banking for him and he is the real deal.

looks like there's gonna be two congressional elections in north carolina later this year, one owing to walter jones dying a few weeks into office, and the other from the state board of elections unanimously calling for a new one for the 9th district

the governor sets the date for the first, and the elections board sets the 2nd, but presumably they'll be held on the same day, same as the required primaries

Really is incredible to me that Fairfax is accused by two different women of forcible rape (claims that pre-date his election), Virginia Democrats are refusing to let the women testify, and life is just moving on.

I know that politics has really taken a nasty turn, but I still can't wrap my head around how this is happening. It also feels like the refusal to let the women testify is not being very well covered in the media (compared to the initial feeding frenzy).

Yep. Even more reason to donate your money and time. Carter is doing good work and more importantly is a good man. Those are hard to find in politics.

yes, yes you should. it wouldn't be too disruptive since very few things passed though the general assembly since 2011 have survived court challenges, including previous attempts at instituting voter id

Virginia campaign finance laws are written in a way that candidates can't fundraise while the gov is in session. So there is only a few weeks to a month where we can fund candidates. If that candidate doesnt bend the knee to the establishment, then they need a serious fundraising ground game.

To those of you that donated to Lee Carter. Thank you guys from the bottom of my cold dark heart! I am literally making the rounds calling everyone in my goddamn rolodex to donate because he actually excites me as a candidate.

And now, the gospel of Lee:

- Lee is fighting to kill Right to Work
- Lee is fighting for the ability for teachers to be able to strike. You know the strike that happened in West Virginia when Republicans were going to try to turbofuck schools? And they tabled it in a day? Or the LA teacher strike VA teachers can't do that by law, which means the Teachers Union is effectively toothless. Strikes are super important for our education system because who better to know the needs of students than loving teachers?!
- Lee wants to hear from Justin Fairfax's accusers, not out of craven political gamesmanship, but because he is a survivor of rape and very open about it. As a fellow survivor that is huge for me and alone gets him my vote. To have a man break with his entire party just because it is the right thing to do...is so important. He is a good man who literally told a rape apologist to eat poo poo and when asked to clarify, told him to eat poo poo again.
- Lee is fully on board the Green New Deal train and regularly sticks it to Dominion Power (They run VA politics).
- Workers Rights, Workers Rights, Workers Rights!
- He went to an Anti-Nazi counter-protest as a regular dude, not as Del. Carter. Just there to potentially punch a Nazi and show them they are not welcome here
- I can safely say he has not worn black face
