Amidst all the wildness of the Presidential primary season there is something much more important happening this week. Bonus: all of us across the country get to do it. So, whether you are in Virginia with a chance to flip the state House of Delegates or in Alaska with an important School Board election please consider blocking out a little extra time on Tuesday’s schedule to swing by the polling place.
But first, a word from our sponsors ...

I’m exhausted again this weekend after 2 days of canvassing for the City Council elections. Through my participation in a presidential campaign I met a fascinating woman who wants to start changing things right here at home. And her issues are smart and strong: stronger and safer communities where the people who live in them can afford housing and get good schools.
So I’m going to save the national conversation for a later date. Who are y’all excited about in local elections this year?
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
