Every day until the election I'm making a contribution to a new candidate, announcing it here on Daily Kos, and encouraging you to join me. If one person matches my contribution on my ActBlue page, I'll double my contribution; if ten people match it, I'll triple. Yesterday
maryfromabluestate,
Christopher Walker, and
llbear (who followed up with
an exclusive liveblog from outside Denny Hastert's HQ) all matched or exceeded my contribution to John Laesch, so today I'm sending John $20 more.
Here's Zack's website.
Here's my ActBlue page.
Please follow me below the fold for details on Zack Space and my donation history.
Today I'm shifting my attention away from Illinois and back to Ohio. A while back,
fabian suggested Zack Space, who is running for Bob Ney's old seat. Zack meets all my criteria - he looks like a solid candidate who will honestly serve his district, it's a winnable race (he seems to be in the lead), but not a lock, and it's one where my money can make a difference. Who will match my $20?
