Governors
Spanberger for Virginia, Nov 4, 2025
Watch, as she is well ahead by around 8% but with 20% undecided or not reporting. Former House Rep. Donation: Abigail Spanberger
Mikie Sherill for New Jersey, Nov 4, 2025
Watch, as she is also well ahead by around 8% but with 16% undecided or not reporting. Impressive resume! Donation: Mikie Sherrill
Virginia Attorney General Jerrauld "Jay" Jones
Narrowly won his primary, but is ahead 47% to 38% according to a July Virginia Commonwealth University poll. The same poll shows half the Independents undecided but they are only 18% of the total VA vote. Probably Jay's biggest challenge is lack of experience as he has never prosecuted a case. Watch this one.
Donate: Jay Jones
Pennsylvania State Supreme Court Justices
Primary March 29, Election Nov 4. This is a Y/N vote to retain 3 current judges for another 10 year term. In the past this has been pro forma.

Stay In Touch with Ed, Elizabeth and Lori
Please continue sending Senators Warren and Markey and Rep Trahan messages and encouragement to continue fighting. A thank you too! Volume and sustained messages give them ammunition. Also add the state officials: the governor and attorney general, links below for full contact information and message outline, but please use a short excerpt of the message that conveys your primary concern. A good message now to our reps is to reassert their legislative prerogative over the executive branch. And maybe they should try bucking up some of their GOP colleagues who are intimidated.
