Lauren Jewett will be challenging Steve Scalise for CD 1 in 2026. She’s hoping to petition her way on to the ballot - it’s an excellent way to make early contact with potential voters AND it saves her campaign the expense of a qualifying fee.

We’ll be gathering signatures at Revel Thursday night

That $12 surcharge on your gas bill?💡💸 It came from the bad deal @jpmorrell.bsky.social’s council approved — selling Entergy’s gas to Delta.

My promise? I’ll forgive all utility debt, ban power shutoffs, & stop every rate increase & extra fee from Delta.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Today I’ll be canvassing my New Orleans neighborhood for Pastor Gregory Manning - candidate for City Council at large

Winning elections legitimately requires hard work:

1. Door-Knocking Now
2. Community Outreach
3. Positive Messaging to hesitant voters
4. Youth Consultation on policy
- A 17yo today is a voter in 2026
- A 15yo today will vote in 2028
5. Simple, Achievable Goals

MOST IMPORTANT: LISTEN !!

An 8-point Democratic lead in the generic VA House of Delegates ballot hopefully translates into Dems getting to 60 seats or so (out of 100). We'll see...something to work towards, though!

Every time I went by the shop we would talk for half an hour or so.

And honestly you should follow @workingfamilies.org everywhere. People I met through WFP in Southern California helped me fight back on behalf of trans and NB kids being bullied at my kids’ school. WFP pulls in the best of us. Get involved.

Seriously, if you're in NYC and still believe even a little in electoral politics, please follow the @nywfp.bsky.social NOW. They do great work supporting progressive politicians and causes. Great group to get info from and volunteer for!

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · Sep 1

Your pal @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn. Genuinely hard to take a bad picture of this dude.

That's the @nywfp.bsky.social float behind him - follow them and let's make this man mayor and get him the progressive caucus he needs to get things done, NYC!
