Every Tuesday is Election Day 2/23-3/1

We can flip 3 state legislative seats!

I know people like to say elections will never happen again, but they are, RIGHT NOW.

And it’s so important to remember that this whole mess started at state level. Republicans came in and took over slowly, and before we knew it, they had complete control of a handful of states and started getting rid of their democracy. So if we want to reverse what they’ve done, it starts with the school boards, and city councils and state legislatures. It starts at state level. And it starts with voting in every single election.

Your next one might just be this coming week.

This week there are races in CA, CT, IA, IL, KS, and ME so let’s get voting!

Tues Feb 25

California

State Senate District 36 Jungle Primary

This means all candidates run together and the top two go to the general. This is a pretty red district, so, it’s not a given that a Dem gets to the general.

Dems

• Julie Diep (No endorsements found)

  • posted “happy inauguration day” on Jan 20

  • Supports the puzzle piece (if you don’t know what that means look up the problems with Autism Speaks)

  • Newport Beach Dem Women’s Club

  • Orange County Huddle

  • Seal Beach Leisure World Dem Club

  • Planned Parenthood

  • Rep Dave Min

State Assembly District 32 Jungle Primary

Like above, this means all candidates run together, there is just one Dem, so hopefully that means he gets enough votes to get to the general!
