Georgia has three state supreme court races on its ballot. Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan are running for two of them! Great candidates!
Unfortunately, Justice Ben Land, who was appointed by Governor Kemp, did not draw a challenger. That means Justice Land, who helped ensure that Georgia could keep its near-absolute abortion ban on the books, will serve at least one more term!
Anyone know why Democrats failed to find a challenger against Justice Land?
Two of Arizona's 7 Supreme Court's justices age out during the next governor's term, so when we reelect Hobbs, she will be able to replace 2 justices including the chief justice.
While Arizona has retention votes every 6 years, we haven't been particularly successful at removing justices that way. Justices age out at 70, and being 67, I fully support this type of age limit for important posts.
It seems like Rankin and Jordan jumped in at the last minute. I'm sure that if these two women unseat the incumbents, there will be a challenger for all three seats up in May 2028 (right before the presidential election).
The House Majority PAC ad reservations mostly point to IA-01 and IA-03, but they've reserved a lot of ad space in the Cedar Rapids market, which covers most of IA-02. I keep telling people to watch IA-02. Those northeast Iowa counties did swing horrifically to Trump, but the GOP nominee (Joe Mitchell) doesn't look like a great fit for the district to me. He only just moved to northeast Iowa in September 2025 after growing up in the southeast part of the state (IA-01) and spending the last several years in Des Moines (IA-03).
Oh dear God, California governor's debate tonight. Instead of winnowing the field, they've dropped the debate criteria to one percent adding Anthony Villaraigosa and Tony Thurmond
Another debate will happen on May 5, and that one drops Thurmond by moving the needle to 3%.
Tonight's debate is covered at 5:30 pm Pacific by CBS stations across California and streams on the kcbs Los Angeles website and others.

TX Sen Poll:
Talarico 44% Cornyn 41%
Talarico 46% Paxton 41%
1,018 LV's; M/E +/-3.3. Conducted 4/17-20 by Texas Public Opinion Research.
https://www.texastribune.org/2026/04/28/texas-us-senate-poll-talarico-cornyn-paxton-2026-midterms/
Among Latino voters, Talarico leads Cornyn by a 32 and Paxton by 27. So much for Texas Latinos voting red.
It's odd that Talarico's lead with Latinos is smaller when facing Paxton.
TX Gov. Poll: Abbott 48%; Hinojosa 43%. (Same link as senate poll.)
I'll never understand why Texans like Greg Abbott so much.
-Disappointed that Jasmine Clark is taking crypto money.
-Surprised Ralph Norman has risen to second place in SC. It feels like anyone's race except for Kimbrell.
