Some personal news and then thoughts/questions for the community.

1) I got accepted to three of the nine law schools I applied to for Fall of 2025, including my Plan A. Five are still pending but I am ecstatic about it. This likely means I will remain in the Denver metro area, but I will see how the rest of them shake out.

2) How are you all planning to use the time before the midterms? Getting as many grants, and scholarships together as possible will be time-consuming, and then school itself but I do want to think about what I can do to improve the national situation. I'm currently brushing up on Spanish so I can be a more effective/useful volunteer, but I would love some additional ideas for what individuals can do to start working against our national nightmare and setting up for success before the 26 cycle really kicks off.

3) In 26 I will try to do some voter registration drives in the Spring-Summer of 26 at colleges or other targeted areas in Adams County since the collapse there is the primary reason Caraveo lost CO-08 by 0.8%. Then volunteer where I can for whoever the candidate is after the primary. I will probably still be a good 30-45 minute drive from CO-08 though but will see what I can do then.

Join your local county DEC(if you haven't already); and consider running yourself (if the local party org will fund you\provide you volunteer organizing help)for a city council\commission seat(I always recommend first time candidates to seek only open seats and remember losing the first race is actually expected; almost all politicians have lost at least 1 race and many great politicians have lost 2 or even 3; except for George Washington, but he cheated, he ran unopposed)

I don't know if I'm cut out for it and my little burb south of Denver is pretty blue up and down the ticket but will look into the local DEC. Thanks.
