Very simple and straightforward post: Just a list of the next two months and change of special elections. NOTE THAT MT-AL IS ON A THURSDAY. The congressional races are MT-AL on May 25, CA-34 (all-Dem runoff) on June 6, and GA-06 RUNOFF and SC-05 on June 20, but there are a variety of state senate/house districts that we could also make a play for.
If I’ve mischaracterized the geography or election procedures of any district, please let me know. Races where we can play offense are underlined.
