I am in Anchorage today and am jumping out of my skin because I think I found the most underrated Congressional race in the country—@AlyseGalvin's campaign for Alaska's sole House seat.pic.twitter.com/cKSV9iMECE

I am here above 60º N in September, and the leaves have not even begun to turn. There are villages where the fish catch has simply disappeared. Climate change is a reality to Alaskans, not an abstraction. Young believes that human-caused climate change is a myth.pic.twitter.com/H7KRyQcihS
So why isn't Galvin getting huge national support? A big part of it is that (like most Alaskan voters) she is an independent. While she is a strong progressive who has committed to caucus with the Democrats, the Democratic Party doesn't much want to help her
Through a heroic effort, Galvin has raised $800,000 for her campaign, the lion's share as small donations from inside the state. She takes no corporate PAC money. And polling shows that she *leads* Young if prospective voters hear a short sentence describing her candidacy.
I can't think of a clearer example where simply adequately funding a candidate will net us a House seat this November. So it gives me the greatest pleasure to welcome Alyse Galvin to the Great Slate!pic.twitter.com/iRJJCyZ35b
Finally, as a personal favor to me, please watch this short video of Don Young bragging about how he once shot a sleeping bear. See if you can keep yourself from donating to his opponent. You can't! You won't!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAsMKV6TSRw …
You can donate to @AlyseGalvin and nine other underrated progressive candidates on the Great Slate. Be an election hipster! Give to the races no one is talking about!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …
If you need more convincing, here is a public polling memo from June that shows Galvin trailing Young by only four points if people haven't heard of her, and winning outright if they have. It really is just a matter of raising enough money to reach votershttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1ygufKlHl5cf9NgRdHx9RZLr23fsndKXz/view?usp=sharing …
