👀In the NY-21 (Stefanik) special, Democrat Blake Gendebien says he's raised $1.8m and has $1m+ on hand, and is up with his first ad. I had reported he raised $1.2m through mid-Feb. GOP probably won't have a nominee till April. Special in the Trump+21 seat most likely in July.

I always appreciate a good callback to the best ad ever ran against Ken Paxton. This was from Justin Nelson, the Democrat who ran against Paxton in 2018 and only lost by 3.5%, the second-best result for a Texas Democrat in decades (after Beto that year).

The Cornyn/NRSC JFC is airing a new ad accusing Ken Paxton of "sleeping around with a married mother of seven" and calling him a "wife-cheater and fraud." Has there been another instance of a committee going so hard against a candidate who it may have to support in a few months?

TIL there is a random personal injury attorney in central Florida named Dan Newlin who is spending more than $6 million of his own money to run pro-Trump ads in Pennsylvania - like this one starring Brett Favre.

Thinking about this amazing video of Charlie Rangel walking through Harlem thanking supporters and giving TV interviews while eating a hot dog after his 1970 victory over Adam Clayton Powell. A man from a different time and style of politics.

It hasn't gotten as much attention as some other Texas primaries but keep an eye on the GOP fight in TX-02, where Dan Crenshaw faces a primary challenge from state Rep. Steve Toth. 20% of Crenshaw's district is new to him post-redraw. Crenshaw just went negative on Toth on TV >>

Just the other day Jonathan Martin was telling me and Nathan Gonzales about how the Post Sports section was his “gateway drug to newspapers.” Would be a total shanda to shutter the department, foreclose on all that history and squash the excellent work coming out of the section still.
