Ben McAdams, who I do not support, has gained a foothold in The Liberal Media, who I also do not support. Experts say this is a good thing, but in this Bushwick apartment-cum-failed-swinger's-club, patron-residents who are grizzly bears aren't so sure.
Happy to announce some personal news, im officially in the lamestream media

Amy Acton: As a young child, my brother and I experienced a lot of child abuse and neglect. We moved countless times as kids, and even wound up living in a tent in the middle of winter. And now my opponent has chosen to exploit my childhood to save his struggling campaign. But it's not going to work

Happy Saturday.

🔵D +18 swing in voter reg. of mail/early in-person voting in UTAH statewide as of Oct 24, 2022-2026.

Watch for the UNA vote share to rise, so REP share may not recover much even if DEM is maxed out (22% of 2026 votes cast so far vs. 15% of reg. voters-more data on that to come...)

Utah should be at 10% turnout now. This roughly in line with 2024 so far. On Election Day morning we started at 53% statewide turnout so something to keep in mind.

1. This is a great series on state legislative seats, been reading it every day when it drops. Not always you hear about WY/AR state seat wise

2. I think I’d mostly agree with these Utah ratings but real possibility on a good night we’re flipping a lot of those Lean R’s
