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, for the first time in this series, we crossed that last threshold. Eleven people, all from Minnesota, contributed altogether, among them
cajay - and not even
counting kfred and
BehereBenow, who contributed before Wendy went onto my ActBlue page - so Wendy, here's $40 more. It's great to see so much local enthusiasm for a candidate; I think it bodes well for Wendy's chances.
Please follow me to the other side to learn why I'm supporting Jack Davis today.
Here's Jack's website (which seems to be having problems this morning).
Here's my ActBlue page.
Buffalo Girl,
Christopher Walker, and
Fighting Dem Vets all suggested today's candidate. That candidate is Jack Davis. This race isn't as close as most of the ones I contribute to - Jack is running away with it, currently polling at 48 to 33 for Tom Reynolds, the congressman who, knowing of his problems, talked Mark Foley into running for another term. Like so many races across the country, this could get nasty, and candidates need dollars to defend against nasty attacks. So Jack, here's $20; let's see if we can make tripling a habit here!
