On our end, while the Swing State Project is striving to raise $2300 for Travis Childers by May 5th, we’re only $15 short of our daily goal of $200 (or $1500 total). Will a hero emerge? If you haven’t done so already, please consider making a donation today — anything you can manage will help a great deal.

still spending so much money on LA-06. It seems as if the national Republicans have given up on that race and Cazayoux is cruising to victory. They must know something I don’t.
