[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Just imagine how glorious 2021 will be with Burgun, Not-Marjorie Taylor Greene, and a handful of these particular Republicans making their own caucus.

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

No ND seats are up this year

I'd say wait for it, or bribe one of the current Senators into retiring.

The next one is up in 2 years, he will serve a term in the House and then the Senate.

He can join Porter's media company in the meantime, if Burgun is so inclined. Although he seems more like a behind-the-scenes man to me, but that's just my impression.

He could literally give a whole bunch of interviews only to Porter's company along with ppl like Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Biography: Jensen was born and raised in the town of Clinton, New York, near Utica. Her father was a senior Wells Fargo official, and her mother was an elementary school teacher. Her father was also a local Republican state senate member and her parents involved her in local campaigns as a child. Both of her parents are now active supporters of the Democrats. She attended Clinton Senior High, where she was Class President. After leaving school, she was accepted to study History at Yale University, where she captained the women's ice hockey team, and graduated from Yale with a master's degree in 1998. Jensen joined the Democratic Party in 1997 and, after leaving university, moved to Nashville and worked for the Tennessee Department for Human Services. In 2001, she became (not Bob Clement)'s chief of staff. In 2003, when (not Clement) lost his house seat, Jensen resigned and was re-employed by the TDHS, who she wrote a series of research papers for. She was unsuccessful in an attempt to be selected as the Democratic nominee for the position of US representative for Tennessee's 5th Congressional District at the 2006 midterm election. In 2007, she became an advisor for (not Karl Dean), who was Nashville's mayor at the time. She held this position until 2014.

In 2016 Jensen was elected as a Representative for Tennessee's 5th Congressional District with a majority of 68,678 despite overall poor electoral performance for democrats in the 2016 elections, with a Republican trifecta elected. She made her first speech in a debate on the Wolf Travel Bans on 26 January 2017. She was briefly a member of the United States House Committee on Education and Labor between March 2017 and January 2018. She was publicly critical of the Wolf administration during this time. In January 2018 she was moved from the Education and Labor Committee to the United States House Education Subcommittee on Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions, where she was a notably contributive member.

On 10 January 2018, Jensen announced that she was standing as a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for the 2018 Tennessee Senate elections. Jensen was criticised by many in the media as a "carpetbagger", though Jensen stated she would "fight for Tennessee" were she to be elected as Senator. Jensen was eliminated in the democratic primaries in favour of (not Phil Bredesen).

Burgun + Cramp + ??

[Gordano and Lysandus]

By what vehicle can the Democratic Party make ad buys directly? Are they just accredited to the DNC? Obviously I know about the DCCC and the DSCC too, but I'm more thinking national messaging than localized though that is always in mind.

I've had Lilyana outright buy ads on behalf of the RNC, and no one said anything.

Great. Now we just have to find a new DNC Chair to shoehorn in because we could really use one.

Hypolite might too, depending on who wins the white house. Hypolite is a closeted Porter supporter.

They also have a dem rep

Romney was mega unpopular, people thought McCain was gonna die and Palin was mental, guns weren't as big an issue with Dems in previous elections, Clinton was very popular, in terms of presidentials.

As for the Rep stuff, as far as I know from my Mainer friend, the GOP put up weak candidates in ME-2.
