Yesterday Great Slate candidates Greg Edwards and Shavonnia Corbin-Johnson, who with your support were able to run a terrific campaign, lost their primaries. It was a topsy-turvy election where districts were redrawn by a Supreme Court ruling only two months before Election Day.

One thing the campaign needs money for is a new field director/field office in Pueblo (I believe that is the small gentleman on the far right in this photo). Rent for this office costs $1500/month [!!]. Relatively small amounts of money make an outsized difference in these races.pic.twitter.com/QUKXrcjWlQ

Our goal continues to be to expand the universe of winnable races, to maximize our chances of winning the House in 2018. Please help keep this effort funded, so that no House seat this year is lost for simple lack of resources!https://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

And to Greg and Shavonnia, I would like to say a most sincere thank you. Your campaigns inspired and fired up thousands of people, not just within your district, but nationwide. I have a feeling we are going to see you on the national stage again, and I look forward to that day!

I would also like to mention that at one point, Diane Mitsch Bush was a COBOL programmer. Please take that real token of suffering into account when considering a donation to the Great Slate. This woman was a data scientist before it was cool, and paid a very real price.
