Martha Wells-- I don't know if you've read any of anything of hers, but she's one of the few authors who are very candid about their finances.And she's actually published her financial statements for a couple of years now.
I imagine this is some of the reaction to Wisconsin. Uh the last two weeks have produced mixed results for left-wing candidates. A big win in Michigan and a win this week in uh Minnesota for Peggy Flanagan, but a loss for Francesca Hong, which was a surprise in Wisconsin. What have been your takeaways from the last set of results?
There's a lot of excitement on the platform. There's a lot of excitement for the first time for for change candidates. It's it's still a very good environment to be in if you are a socialist. The establishment does have a lot of juice still, for sure. And when they can, you know, put together a uh a similar strategy to what happened in

particular candidates, that feels like it's changing right about now. Gavin Newsom has basically declared himself a candidate for the 2028 election, and AOC is the clear choice of the left should she run. But there's much less discussion about the person actually leading the 2028 polling, the former vice president. Virtually all of the
especially after like dealing with Trump's presidency, I feel like we not going to have that many candidates that's willing to do half of the things that she's probably willing to do, especially in this upcoming election cuz we see what's going I feel like J.D.

I do want to ask about some substance on it though. Like, you know, I saw Chris Rabb, the recently elected congressional candidate in Pennsylvania, take some flak a couple months ago when he was lukewarm on Platner. And he was making the point that a black progressive could not get away with the set of scandals that he had gotten. That That he felt And And I just
Yeah, part of my interest in the in this race is a question of generational change. Democrats everywhere have been thinking about like kind of younger candidates even after election.

You know, I actually never thought that I would run for office. I was recruited
And the way that, you know, MAGA and Trump, others had a specific goal of changing the Republican party through primaries, through through pushing candidates that believe a specific vision. It it seems like we're talking about kind of two different things. But I mean, let's ask a question. If the existential threat politically of our time is MAGA and Trump, the job is to
especially, the maps itself could be more important in terms of determining the November result than the individual candidates themselves. So, all of this is important context when we think about the redistricting wars currently playing out in this election cycle. Because while Donald Trump's push to get Republicans to do midyear redistricting

Like you pick all the candidates are in the same ballot, and everybody knows to show up that day, whatever we're going to call it, June 2nd, every year, the first Tuesday in June.
