This is where I’ll be tracking who’s running for office, the US Senate, and Congress. I’ll update it regularly as new candidates file, drop out, or switch races.
After today, you’ll always find the link to this page at the bottom of each newsletter. Check back periodically to stay current.
I’ve done my best to add websites and social media sites for Democrats when I can find them. I haven’t added links to Republicans and Independents, because this is a partisan newsletter (duh). If you don’t see a website or social media presence for a candidate, it’s because I couldn’t find one, but I’ll keep looking.
Incumbents have an asterisk (*) next to their name. If their name is in bold, they’ve already filed with the party to be on the ballot in the primary race. If I’m missing anyone, misspelling anything, or have a link wrong, just reach out.
You can find a list of the state races here. I’m sure I’ll get around to the judicial races eventually as well.
