Why fund these races when the goal is a Senate majority? 1) Senate campaigns will rapidly saturate with money 2) Rural House candidates run in the hardest parts of the state 3) They can run on more local, cross-ideological pocketbook issues 4) They have infrastructure in place

The same argument holds for funding *state* candidates in contested Senate races. But it's going to be a little while before all candidates for those races file, and win a primary. Meanwhile, these campaigns are up and running. Your impeachment anger dollar will go furthest here!

When I talk about running on cross-ideological issues, the details can be fascinating. Farmers in *Steve King's* district want to grow hemp! Solid Republicans there are angry with Trump's fixation on coal and oil, since green energy=$ in Iowa. These are opportunities to win votes

Whether you agree with my analysis or think it is bonkers, please make a campaign contribution today *somewhere* where you think it will be useful. The early money is incomparably more powerful than anything you can give in the fall.

My final plea for getting involved in specific campaigns is that American politics is far more interesting, and hopeful, when you dig into the details at a local level. It will help get you off the hamster wheel of online strife and maybe restore some optimism. We all need that.

I want to extend special thanks to people who find my Twitter persona insufferable, or my political beliefs idiotic, or who have been waiting 7 years for a trivial Pinboard bug fix, and still donate to the Great Slate candidates.

not sure if you care about this, since it seems like it's a page one can never get back to once it's closed, but the post-donation social media share links are pulling the old description (11 candidates) from somewhere

Oh, thank you! Will go fix
