Vote Motherf*ckers
Back by popular demand, here’s the list of individuals I’ll be voting for in the Primary Election. Normally I drink a few glasses of wine and provide you all with some (hopefully) entertaining context around my decisions. However, since I’m working on a campaign this cycle, I have significantly less extra time for drunken writing sessions. Sad!
My Approach
Below you’ll find two sections.
The first reflects my ballot, plus statewide races and some federal races too. A smattering.
In the second section, I decided to weigh in on some of the City of Los Angeles races because that shit is WILD this year.
If you have questions about ANY of the races I listed – or if you want me to weigh in on any of the races NOT listed here, I’m happy to do so! The City/Local races will be different based on where you live, and I’m pretty familiar with most of them. So just let me know.

She’s a good friend of mine and she’s brilliant and amazing!! A true “good guy” who has the skills to back it up. Also the incumbent is the worst.
