Primary Importance

While the presidential races heats up, it's important for us citizens to remember that there are many other elections coming up this year that will have as much, if not even more, impact on our lives than who does or doesn't win the presidency in November.

Here in NYC there are a batch of Democratic primaries for state legislative seats that are shaping up to be very competitive -- at least if some of the latest campaign financing reports mean anything. A number of challengers are outraising incumbents and snagging endorsements. Also, the primaries are in late June so they're not that far away.

The problem is that some of these people aren't real Democrats -- they are stealth Republicans -- so it's important for people voting in these primaries to understand who they may or may not be voting for. I strongly suggest you check out City & State and Gothamist to get more information about the upcoming primaries -- make sure sure you're not accidently giving your vote to a Trump supporting fraud.
