Some candidates for Scottsdale city council don’t have a plan for water at all—that’s dangerous for our entire region’s economy. @Zubia4Scottsdl will pursue bipartisan, common-sense policies to protect Scottsdale’s water and keep our economy strong. I’m proud to support him.
The last thing Scottsdale voters care about is an endorsement from the progressive liberal Democrat Mayor @KateWGallego of Phoenix. My opponent, Raoul Zubia cannot find support in his own city so he has to rely on liberals in other cities pushing the same failed  policies. The differences between the two cities goes without saying. There is a reason we do not have light rail destroying our downtown or any of the other taxpayer funded boondoggles #Phoenix saddles its residents with. Scottsdale is not Phoenix, Tempe, or any other city. We have our own identity, our own priorities, and our own residents who deserve a say in our future. Actions like this do not bode well for a collegial relationship in the future. Phoenix has a reputation for putting its interests above the rest of the state and when I am on the council I will do everything I can to make sure that Scottsdale’s voice is no longer stifled. If there was ever a time for someone with the grit, experience, and backbone to hold the line, it’s now. arizonaprogressgazette.com/w…

And this helps Republicans in South Carolina how?
TRUMP: If you're Black, or if you're Jewish, and you vote for Abdul, you're crazy. You're crazy anyway.

Four years of Joe Lombardo siding with Donald Trump and his “billionaire friends.” Four years of Nevadans paying the price of that. In 5 days, it ends — and we move Nevada forward to an Affordable Nevada. Vote today: iwillvote.com/nv

This, IMHO, is what it looks like when the bottom falls out.
President Trump is scrapping a planned trip to Kansas this weekend to campaign for the embattled Republican incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall, opting instead to conduct a flurry of virtual tele-rallies, @Kevinliptakcnn reports.

"But California and its people are sovereign, too." Three cheers for federalism.

From the Texas Republicans who know Ken Paxton best.
BREAKING: Texas Republicans announce they will “Pass on Paxton”: “I truly believe that he is the most corrupt politician Texas has ever seen.” “To send Ken Paxton to the United States Senate is adding another gator to the swamp.” “James Talarico is by far — without a doubt — the best person in the race for the US Senate.”

Can’t say it any better than this: “A politician on trial for corruption has friends and family pouring money into Warren Petersen's campaign. They're shopping for an attorney general who won't enforce the law or hold them accountable." Absolutely disqualifying for Petersen. azcentral.com/story/news/pol…

Perhaps Trump’s campaigning in South Carolina has been counterproductive. His final visit to South Carolina tomorrow may help propel @AnnieAndrewsMD over the finish line.
NYT/Siena poll of South Carolina by subgroup: Black: 🔵 Andrews +89 18-29: 🔵 Andrews +45 Didn’t Vote in 2024: 🔵 Andrews +23 Independents: 🔵 Andrews +20 30-44: 🔵 Andrews +19 Women: 🔵 Andrews +11 College+: 🔵 Andrews +9 45-64: 🔴 Graham +4 White College+: 🔴 Graham +3 Non-College: 🔴 Graham +7 Men: 🔴 Graham +15 65+: 🔴 Graham +17 White: 🔴 Graham +27 White Non-College: 🔴 Graham +43

Anne Applebaum: "Vučić was very close to Putin, and there was a MAGA link...So the good news is it’s still possible for a grassroots democracy and anti-corruption movement to win an election, even against someone who has the backing of this international far-right movement."

Prediction time. Democrats win all statewide offices. Several swing legislative districts flip to Democrats including LD2, 4, 9, 16 & 17. Democrats will also win CD1 & CD2. Democrats will also dominate local races. You can blame Trump, MAGA & TPUSA.

South Carolina and @AnnieAndrewsMD are real folks. It is turning into a toss up just like KS six weeks ago. 51% do not think Darlene Graham has the experience to be a Senator while 54% believe Dr. Andrews does. Andrews is winning 57% of Independents Voters in SC trust the Democrat by a +8 margin on the economy. A reminder that their are two, third party candidates in this race -- a Libertarian and a Constitution Party candidate -- who are stealing votes from Graham.

ONE WEEK until Election Day, Nevada! This election will come down to just a handful of votes. Every vote matters. Joe Lombardo said Nevadans should “feel a little pain.” But I know hardworking families shouldn’t have to suffer just to afford gas, groceries, rent, or healthcare. Nevada, make a plan to vote and make your voice heard at the ballot box! Find your nearest polling place at iwillvote.com/nv

.@AaronDFordNV and I stopped by El Mercado in Las Vegas to hear from small business owners. One thing was clear: In the Lombardo-Trump economy, prices keep rising, and hard work just isn’t cutting it anymore. This election is an opportunity to change that. Vote on or before November 3, Nevada. Let’s make Aaron Ford your next governor.

Over the final week, there is slated to be more spent on the South Carolina Senate race than on Alaska and New Hampshire. There's also slated to be more spent on Kansas than on Texas and Maine. cnn.com/2026/10/27/politics/…
