I celebrated the win in Virginia, only to fall back into despair at this ruling. Republicans have been engaging in voter suppression for decades. It seems that’s the only way they can win. I still have high hopes for the midterm elections, but continue to worry about the cheating and the illegality of everything Republicans do. One would think that the voting process would be safe and protected at this point in our history. I can’t seem to wrap my head around it.
Just want to pop in to add extra emphasis to Lauren Jewett's campaign! She is currently running against Steve Scalise for the Louisiana's 1st congressional district spot (and I'm really hoping that is still the case after all this mess settles).
I know Lauren personally, after working with her for 6 years in the NOLA public schools system. She is an incredible person and advocate and we would all be much better off with her representing us in DC!
It's impossible to listen to the things our Republican officials say and do without wondering if they have any conscience at all. We need to keep our eyes on the prize and focus on the midterms.

Truly. It's horrifying to witness and wrenching to try and make sense of. Sending love from NOLA.

Thank you for this added insight into Lauren and her race for congress, Mary Elizabeth!

But this is much harder than it should be.
Oof. So real. Eyes on the prize indeed!
