Vote YES! (If you are voting progressive, there are only three things to vote yes on out of the 14 amendments being proposed--be careful of confusing language! 87 and Prop 137 are the other two)

Voting from abroad? How you return your ballot depends entirely on your home state. Some states let you return your ballot electronically (email, online portal, fax), while others strictly require postal mail. Check the map to see your state's rules: votefromabroad.org @demsabroad.bsky.social

Beto O’Rourke stood outside the Texas GOP convention tonight and said what everyone in that room already knows: they scare you about immigrants and trans neighbors so you don’t notice the pockets getting picked. Tarrant County just cut 92 polling places. Connect the dots.

“Having a uniform and predictable set of legislatively imposed rules to govern the release of their papers going forward would not only help to increase the Court’s transparency, but it would also reaffirm that the justices’ work, which increasingly *affects* all of us, also *belongs* to all of us.”

Leaving to the whims of individual justices the fate of their papers is a recipe for inconsistency and obscurity for records with significant historical value.

I’m ready to answer the call.
Andrea LaFlamme for US Senate 2026

As a victim of sexual assault, myself, I'm still processing the news that came out yesterday about Graham Platner. I have a lot of feelings about the public reaction to it, but I want to focus my energy on the path forward and the needs of Maine.

Mainers showed up in a huge way in the primary. That's really exciting and it's necessary if we're going to beat Susan Collins. Maine voters made their voices heard. They made it clear that they want a candidate who isn't a part of the political realm--someone who supports Medicare for All, workers' rights, and reproductive rights, a person that fights with our communities against ICE, and, most importantly, someone who isn't afraid to speak truth to power. All of those things bring me so much hope. I'm proud of Maine for stepping up and I'm hopeful that we can use that energy to make some incredible policy changes, bring relief to struggling Mainers and beat Susan Collins in November.

If you've been following along on social media, you've seen that even after the primary, l've continued to show up for Maine in any way I can. As a young voice, a union leader, public health professor, and lifelong feminist, I've championed all of the things that Maine has said that they want in a candidate. I want to thank you all for your incredible messages of support since the primary.

I'm still here and I still believe that I'm the best person to take on Susan Collins.

We're going to see things start to move really quickly over the next week. We don't know what the future of the Senate race looks like, but one thing I can say with certainty is, whether l'm in an elected position or not, I'm always going to be here-standing up for Mainers and leading us forward.

Together, we lead.
