WI-Sen candidate discussing how, other than a 2008 trip to Oshkosh to campaign for Hillary in the Democratic primary, his first time in the state was when he and his dad traveled to Milwaukee to discuss buying the Bucks from Sen. Herb Kohl (the sale was in 2014).
The last decade has not been kind to the Democratic bench in Wisconsin. No new members of Congress since 2012. Gov. Evers, Lt. Gov. Barnes, AG Kaul all just halfway through their first terms and up for re-election in 2022. A legislative caucus mired deep in the minority.
Lasry’s company in the primary includes Outagamie County Exec. Tom Nelson, a former Bernie Sanders delegate/state assembly majority leader who heads a Trump +10 county anchored by Appleton. Subscribers met him in last week’s issue. insideelections.com/news/article/c…

It's here!

Today's issue includes a 6,700-word look at all 38 states holding gubernatorial elections over the next two years: which states the parties are targetting, which incumbents are most vulnerable, who's planning on running, and much more!

In ARIZONA, in addition to the usual suspects (HOBBS, STANTON, GALLEGOx2), a notable name being discussed by Democrats is MARCO LÓPEZ, the former Nogales mayor/Obama official who is now a senior adviser to billionaire Carlos Slim and is considering a run.

In MARYLAND, Prince George's County Executive ANGELA ALSOBROOKS would be a top-tier contender and could be the first Black woman governor in history, but some Democrats think she won't end up running. Close to a dozen other Democrats are eyeing the race.

My high school economics teacher @ZehnerMr used to tell a story about one of his buddies who was an executive at a tech company that saw massive growth (50x increase in share price in a few months) during the dot-com bubble. The company will remain unnamed.
He says the day the bubble burst, a bunch of friends were all on a trip (Vegas, I think?) and they were making this guy pay for everything because he was a multi-millionaire (on paper). But as the day went on, and the stock cratered, the guy lost all the money he thought he had.
Every year, Mr. Zehner would tell this story and then being in his friend to talk about his career—and invariably get clowned by a bunch of high-schoolers about something that happened in Vegas 15 years prior, which I'm sure was part of the appeal for Mr. Zehner.

"What I did not realize was all of the national conversation about states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, was seen as casting doubt on the validity of votes coming out of predominantly Black communities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit."

This was, of course, noted by many in the media and elsewhere in the wake of Trump's fraud claims, and earlier as well. Here's USA Today, Dec. 1:

Now this is a STATEMENT from Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks.

It starts off "I defend my honor and reputation against scurrilous, George Orwellian, 1984, Socialist Democrats Politics of Personal Destruction," and only gets better.
