A thing Zohran & his campaign have powerfully tapped into -- and that his scavenger hunt captures so perfectly -- is that a vast majority of the people who live here genuinely *love* New York City. We wouldn't stay here otherwise!

The new wave of millennial candidates - James Talarico, Graham Platner, Zohran Mamdani, Zach Wahls, Mallory McMorrow, and more - are going to redefine the Democratic Party in their collective image: values-driven, voters-first, unafraid to tear down the systems that no longer serve us, & with joy.

The 3 Qs @runforsomething.net pushes everyone to answer before they run for office: 1) What is the problem you care about solving? 2) How does the office you’re running for give you power to solve it? 3) Why should voters want you to win? Everything else is logistics or teachable.

Every call for redistricting reinforces that Democrats need to go hard for state legislative seats in *every single state* -- not just the flippable ones. We have to win any power we can in these critical chambers.

Fun @runforsomething.net fact: We have at least 157 candidates running in toss-up or red areas this year, including 39 candidates in R+10 to R+20 districts and 29 candidates in R+20 districts. We're not playing it safe.

Cool @runforsomething.net candidate alert: Meet Kelsey Stock -- if she wins, she will be the first Democrat to ever hold this seat in the Kansas state legislature. www.instagram.com/p/DYFxDwBxCEo/

Happy first birthday to WHEN WE'RE IN CHARGE! I'm so grateful to every single person who bought it, read it, borrowed it, listened to it, told me they loved it (or yelled at me about hating it), and who passed it along to a friend or a teammate or a boss. Thank you!

Still reading up on the details, but seems like Mamdani managed to do excellent politics & disciplined budgeting to close a massive (inherited!) funding gap -- all without slashing services & while communicating effectively to New Yorkers throughout the process. Pretty good!

Went thru the entire site and not a single mention of paid family leave, childcare, or vaccines.
