I wish both candidates well and fervently hope the Democrats can take the House and Senate back. But it's ironic to hear that now men have to worry about how their looks affect how they are perceived. Women have been judged for their looks forever. How about we just listen to what candidates have to say instead.

I am so very glad that this is being brought out, that “..corruption, abuse of power, equality under the law, the rule of law. These are all kitchen table issues.” We are not just about grocery prices. We're about the price to be paid by allowing authoritarianism to run amok.

Always nice to see some reports "from the trenches" as it were, instead of more bloviating from national strategists who keep missing the trees for the forest......

You win the country by winning the districts......

Not sure who is right; but I hope Crosswell wins because it means the American people have awakened to the reality of the Felon, who is a liar and all that he does to his or his billionaire and multi-millionaire friends benefit.

With the full support of the six Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court and GOP Congressional members the Felon is making the United States an authoritarian theocracy, with the Felon as leader and the American oligarchs running the Country (Putin's Russia).

Even Trump's advisors realize the imagery of roving paramilitary thugs in masks tear-gassing, beating & killing people is more than bad optics. ICE is a terror agency masquerading as an immigration enforcement agency. Reagan appointed Judge Wm Young called the targeting of critics as an "unconstitutional conspiracy" & even compared the administration’s larger deportation policy to people catching and returning enslaved African Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

In Barnes v Felix a unanimous Supreme Court rejected the self created "moment of threat" & reaffirmed the "totality of the circumstances" test for evaluating excessive force claims under the 4th Amendment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnes_v._Felix

Why did Raskin endorsed Brooks when Crosswell stands more for pro-democracy, rule of law principles I thought were priorities for Raskin.

Thanks. Very informative article. I grew up in PA, and my son currently lives in Montgomery Co. (pretty blue). I have a friend who lives near Allentown, and I would be interested in her take on these two good candidates as well.
