I live in the blood red north of MI and for many years there were no Dems on ballot! We know something of what you all are dealing with so I fully get how hard this accomplishment is! Well done! #solidarity

99 of 99 would be even better.

Potentially a lot more Dem votes from districts that usually do not get them out will help the Dems flip their Senate seat!! Hopefully Bye Bye Marsha!!
