Central Ohio folks, we have this in Jesse Vogel for Columbus city council and @lauramoldham.bsky.social for Upper Arlington city council.

Early voting is open, and (from what I’ve observed) turnout is pretty low, so it’s both quick and your vote can make a big difference.

And you get a sticker!
I’d genuinely love to see more progressive, Green, etc. candidates running for local office so we can build a base of experienced, vetted folks with track records so that the next time we have a crucial Senate race we don’t end up rallying around black-box unknowns with shiny campaign announcements.

Thank you, Senator! So thrilled to receive the coveted Meowlet mention. I'll be hanging out at early vote today from 1:00 - 5:00, drenched in rain and enthusiasm. Say "hello" if you stop into vote!
Hello, Meowlets! Early Voting for the 2025 General Election starts today. I'll be at 1700 Morse Rd to cast my Meowlot soon, and the BoE will be waiting for you 8am-5pm weekdays, with more details on their website. More details in the newsletter. See you there!

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

I’m really gonna ask you please not to turn your nose up at the WSJ story and sneer that it’s a distraction.

These men harmed real people. They used their power and money to trap and abuse them.

That’s not a distraction, actually. That’s central to what matters.
