there's a lot more beyond the NYC mayoral race! (but we also got y'all covered there)
1/ Today is Election Day! 🗳️
It's an off-year, meaning there is no presidential election or midterm congressional election.
However, there are key races in Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Michigan that we're keeping a close eye on:

I saw a lot of headlines about Florida getting rid of all its vaccine mandates for schoolchildren. So @nadrakn.bsky.social and I wanted to add a little context and clarity about what that means and what might happen next. Our latest for @19thnews.org: 19thnews.org/2025/09/flor...
Florida officials say they want to eliminate school vaccine mandates. It won’t be that simple.
Many of the reversals will require action from lawmakers. Public health experts and educators warn that dropped mandates could worsen disease outbreaks and add to a teacher shortage
