MGP had ads of her putting wood in a wood-burning stove in 2022.
The activity was SO basic I thought it was borderline pandering when I first saw it, but a lot of folks I knew in the district actually brought up the ad and said she felt relatable.
Chainsaws: also pretty basic.

Will be interesting to see if the endorsement of a GOP Chair from the early part of this century can help offset the perception problems Forstag created for himself by campaigning with AOC in the primary. It keeps coming up when I’m talking to both strategists and local voters.

Hint - running against a moderate https

I’m not actually sure that being unable to effectively legislate would go over well in the district.

Genuinely didn’t realize I did this until @samjsutton a few years back asked if I grew up Republican. I was like “omg how did you know??”

And double thanks to @williamduryea, who first asked me to freelance the last time I was laid off, and then edited so many pieces I did for POLITICO Magazine once I was on staff — like this profile of my hometown Rep Marie Gluesenkamp Perez: https://t.co/86RQhg6RhF

👋 Personal news: I was one of the people to take the POLITICO buyout — my last day was Friday. It’s bittersweet to end my seven years here this way, but I’m grateful for all the great stories I got to report, the impact my work had and the great reporters and editors I got to
