"Democrats appear to have flipped six governorships and held all 18 of their own, exceeding even the wildest hopes... The results are a huge victory for the DGA, which came into the cycle with the once-ambitious task of winning an overall majority." thelongrun.news/p/the-promis…

Getting the opportunity to build a digital program for a generational candidate like @robsandia is a daunting experience. You understand the weight of the task. You know lots of people (Rob included) will have opinions, and you have to figure out how to balance the seriousness of the office with the authenticity of someone who refuses to be anything but himself. One thing I never worried about, though, was having fun. Here are some of my personal favorites, along with a few program stats from @robsandia’s digital team.

Overall this digital team was a sledgehammer who understood what we needed to do to win this race. Incredibly proud to have played a small role on this team and in this fight. Thanks @robsandia for bringing this Iowa kid along for the ride. It was the honor of my life. If you’re interested in getting to know these incredible strategists, artists, videographers, editors, fundraisers, and overall amazing people - my DMs are open. Would love to share them with you and keep winning races up & down the ticket for years to come.

.@FrancesPatano & @cormac_gahan are absolute juggernauts. 2028 presidentials would be wise to throw UNGODLY amounts of money at them to run their programs.
