Some of you might know Megan as a talented ecologist and some of you may know her from interacting with her through NIFA. She’s running for Congress!! Consider supporting her effort. I did and I live a LONG way from her district… I’m taking a longer view…
My name is Megan O’Rourke, and I was born and raised in Jersey.
I've dedicated my life to putting nutritious, affordable food on the table and combatting climate change. I won't stand by while Trump undermines NJ families on a daily basis.
Today, I launched my campaign to flip NJ-07. Join us!

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates

Massive thanks to @truebug.bsky.social for having me out last week at @unlincoln.bsky.social. I got to visit with Doctor of Plant Health (dph.unl.edu) students and catch up with old friends. Jody Green and I have been in Extension circles for YEARS, and Andy Little and I were at UGA together.
