Why last night was a win for progressives;

While there are small number of ballot waiting to be counted from last night’s elections, we have a lot of them and, as usual, I’d like to reflect on our wins and losses.

(I’ll include thread reader bot at the end)

While at first glance last night may look like a blowout for progressives I do not believe that to be the case, in fact I believe that in many ways we won last night.

Let’s start with Vermont where voters across the state participated in the annual Town Meeting Day.

Voters across the state passed budgets, many progressive, and many towns voted on retail cannabis. The retail cannabis bill was voted on in over 20 towns and passed in major cities across the state, including Burlington and Montpelier and was only rejected in Richmond.

With votes mostly from wards 1, 4, 6, and 7 Democrat Miro Weinberger has a 3% (~350 vote) lead over progressive Max Tracy with independent Ali Dieng trailing with 14% of the vote.

@JackHansonBTV

Congratulations to progressive @JackHansonBTV who will be re-elected to the Burlington City Council. Hanson ran unopposed and will receive another term.

The North District race is nearly tied and incumbent Perri Freeman is leading 67-28 in the Central District

For ballot initiatives retail marijuana look like it will pass (79-21) and RCV has a strong 20% lead. All other ballot measures look like they will be approved as well.

Now that we have the majority of the results from last night’s primaries, what are the next race progressive are looking at?

On August 18 there will be primaries in Alaska, Florida, and Wyoming. While these states are fairly red they are interesting and we could get some wins.

Note: These are just congressional candidates (there could be many state candidates who are not included).

Alaska this year has gone from a “Safe GOP” state to “Lean GOP” across the board, meaning it’s going to be pretty competitive.

For Alaska Senate we’re backing Al Gross. While Gross may not be a perfect progressive he is a strong candidate who could flip the seat and be an ally to progressives in the Senate (certainly worth looking at his campaign and platform).
