2022 Races That Interest Us

House:

Georgia: Marcus Flowers is running to replace that Paleo diet in human form Marjorie Taylor Green

Kansas: Sharice Davids (redistricting--Sean?--and she crushed her 2020 opponent by a whopping 10 points)

Senate

Iowa: Abby Finkenauer (against Grassley who is a walking statement about why the GOP can’t accuse the Dems of not forcing lawmakers to retire when they should); we’ve asked her team to schedule some time on the POD and we really hope they follow through with that. We’d love to sit down with her. She has history of holding office, etc.

Missouri: I’m calling it now. Hartzler is going to DC as a Senator in 2022.

Governor’s Races:

Kansas: Laura Kelly’s COVID moves may look shady AF if you live on the coast or in a city, but she’s clearly doing what she thinks she has to do to appeal to anti-Biden swing voters in Kansas (aka nearly everyone)

Texas: Beto, duh. Probably tied for first for the most watched governor’s race in history (with GA naturally)

Alabama: I hate Kay Ivy (I just want to say that)

Senate + Governor: Pennsylvania. Maybe the most fascinating races to watch right now.
