Senate:
AK-Sen: (Izengabe) Democrat Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer’s PAC ran TV ads in Alaska featuring “Alan from Anchorage”. So who is “Alan from Anchorage”? Well turns out he’s Alan Harris the man who literally delivered decoy Daniel J Sullivan’s declaration of candidacy form to the Alaska Division of Elections. It seems pretty clear that Mary Peltola and the Democrats were behind the “Decoy Daniel” shenanigans and it’s possible Chuck Schumer may have been involved as well.
AK-Sen: A district judge has dismissed the DoJ’s Hail-Mary lawsuit asking to block certification of a potential Peltola win due to Decoy Dan.
AK-Sen: (Izengabe) The New York Post has more details of Democrat Mary Peltola’s use of the N-word. Apparently Peltola used the racial slur as a pejorative to describe a black Army veteran who sold her tables to a 2024 charity dinner honoring nearly 4,000 black American soldiers.
AK/OH-Sen: CNN has looked into a pair of popup PACs that have spent millions boosting Gerald Heikes (R) and William Redpath (L) in an attempt to draw votes away from Sens. Dan Sullivan (R) and Jon Husted (R).
CT-Sen/2028: Sen. Chris Murphy (D) was hospitalized for a stroke over the weekend, and is fortunately expected to make a full recovery.
FL-Sen: (Izengabe) Angie Nixon (D) used campaign funds to pay her brother-in-law’s automotive shop $6,795 for “vehicle wash & road services”. The shop normally only charges a $150 flat fee for towing services. This is the same brother-in-law Nixon’s campaign paid $2,500 to for “event meals”.
MI-Sen: In case you missed the big news from yesterday, Rep. Haley Stevens (D), who narrowly lost the Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed (D), crossed over to endorse former Rep. Mike Rogers (R) and did an event with him.
MI-Sen: (Izengabe) After rejecting ejects Haley Stevens’ calls for an apology over his antisemitic ads, Abdul El-Sayed (D) campaigned with an antisemitic Nation of Islam ‘Student Minister’ who touted Louis Farrakhan seminars praising Adolph Hitler.
MI-Sen: (Izengabe) One of the 12 people indicted in Michigan for a campaign of terror against members of the Jewish Federation of Detroit was on the payroll of Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate campaign. El Sayed’s employee threw jars of chemicals into homes of Jewish families in Detroit and painted upside down red triangles on their houses which is the symbol Hamas uses to target people for death. When asked about the arrest Abdul El-Sayed said “It’s a lot more about what you’re advocating for that gets you indicted or not indicted, rather than what you did.”
KS-Sen: In what seems like a transparent attempt to keep the issue in the news, a former patient has filed a class-action lawsuit against Sen. Roger Marshall (R), claiming he charged illegally-high interest rates.
TX-Sen: (Izengabe) James Talarico’s attorneys confirmed that an email belonging to him was part of the adult dating website Fling.com’s 2011 data breach. Talarico’s profile listed “fetish” and “group sex” as his interest on his profile.
House:
ME-02: State Sen. Joe Baldacci (D), who narrowly lost the primary to state Auditor Matt Dunlap (D), put up a statement on Facebook criticizing Dunlap for campaigning with Ro Khanna (D). Dunlap faces former Gov. Paul LePage (R) for this [] district covering the state’s interior.
NY-17: (Izengabe) Democrat Cait Conley’s campaign workers have apparently been stealing Mike Lawler (R) signs off of people’s lawns. Camera’s caught sign thieves leaving Conley’s office and then later in the same day stealing Lawler campaign signs.
Third Parties: Axios has a broader look than CNN above at the $16M spent so far from both sides boosting third parties and Indies as spoilers.
Governor:
OH-Gov: (Izengabe) Amy Acton (D) appeared to be drunk at a UAW rally. Acton was slurring her words and speaking incoherently. Acton has a history of alcohol related incidents. In 2019 Bexley, OH police were called to a domestic dispute incident at Acton’s home. Acton told police she had been drinking and taking unnamed prescription pills.
MD-Gov: (Izengabe) Gubernatorial candidate Dan Cox (R) is charging a $35 cover charge to attend his election night “victory” party.
State, Local & Other:
CT-HD 135: (Izengabe) State Rep Anne Hughes (D) charged with larceny after she allegedly stole campaign signs belonging to her Republican opponent Darrell Harris. The campaign signs were reported missing and an airtag on the sign led police straight to a property owned by Hughes.
Kissimmee, FL- Mayor: (Izengabe) On Friday Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Kissimmee Mayor Jackie Espinosa (D). Espinosa was arrested on two felony charges tied to allegations of corruption in a COVID-19 government grant program.
VA-Elections: (Izengabe) Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) “restored” the voting rights of convicted felon Biscuit Rigsby. The only problem is Biscuit is a dog and he’s been dead for 5 years. Nevertheless Biscuit’s former owner got a letter from the Commonwealth of Virginia informing him his dead dog can vote.
