Making a note of my tiny political behaviors as [personal profile] rydra_wong suggested! Being registered in a blue county in a blue state, and having already submitted my absentee midterm ballot, I tossed a small donation to ActBlue's #GrabYourBallot list a few days back. This one includes Heidi Heitkamp and Beto O'Rourke. Other candidates whose blurbs caught my eye are Kyrsten Sinema (senate race) and Paulette Jordan (governor).

Any particular candidates/races on your radar? I'd appreciate hearing about them if there are; it makes a nice change from my sporadic Twitter- and headline-skimming.

I want to add one particular Senate candidate to your list of people to send some cash to if you can (and to mention to other people, even if you can't): Mike Espy, who's running for the Senate as a Democrat in Mississippi. Yes, Mississippi, and he has a very credible chance at actually pulling it out, especially if he gets money now--since it's a special, the election will be held in December.

And he has Doug Jones's media strategist working for him, and a possibly-split Republican vote ...
