Quote of the Day
“The filing window for this year’s legislative elections has come and gone with little competition to show for it. Incumbents have no incentive to change ballot rules designed to protect them. And legislative leaders have no incentive to change their highly centralized form of governance — or to stop punishing those who break rank.”
Progressives gathered over the weekend to game out how to increase their influence — in part by unseating incumbents they view as too entrenched with more moderate legislative leadership.
