I enjoy reading the New York Times, walking the dog, listening to vinyl, NPR, hunting for mushrooms, comic books and rooting on sundry sportsball teams, particularly the Believeland Cavaliers and Arsenal FC.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
