If you are running for office and not: 1) attending a #nokings event this weekend (and posting about it) and 2) meeting up with content creators while you’re there, you’re missing SUCH an easy way to connect with voters.

need you to constantly remind yourself that the average normal person has no idea that any of the stuff we are rightly getting upset about is going on. they dont know. and we need to do everything we individually can to make them know.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Dems needed to talk plainly about why the short term pain of a government shutdown would be “worth it” to people who have a lot on the line. The ones who cannot really afford to miss a paycheck. And they needed to start doing it weeks ago.

Everyone - EVERYONE - can be an “influencer” re/public policy. It takes being willing to share your story. This is a great read and an excellent example: @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

I think we’re going to be talking about this for awhile…wishing all the best to the staff who was fired.

If you’re a Dem candidate running for office or planning to in the next year, you have an opportunity to get 👀 on your socials tonight. Use some of the relevant SOTU hashtags and keywords on your app of choice and share your thoughts. Ideally, make a quick video. Relate the issues to your district.

Here’s what I’m telling my Dem candidate clients right now: the more polished your social media video is, the more likely it is that your target audience will scroll on by. We want to see you in your car, making calls, making dinner - anything that feels authentic and behind the scenes.

I’m launching a new podcast series for the 2025 Virginia Elections

Federal Fallout

It will explore races on the ballot and how what’s going on in DC will influence them

Episode 1 is titled The DOGE Election?

Will try my best to inform people this new way

Once every few months I stop and happily remember that @teenvogue.com is doing some of the most interesting journalism - political and otherwise - in the country.

"Like most people we know, I've been struggling with the question of what I personally can do to counter the current flood of hate and dehumanization in the world," Karen Keele-Kober said.
