Mark Kelly remains the slight favorite for the senate seat in Arizona according to our model. Nevada is looking a bit more like a tossup but the outstanding ballots favor CCM and the model thinks it's ever so slightly more likely that she ends up ahead.
Ahead of the midterms, really nice looking @MadiLAlexander graphic breaking down how much of the infrastructure funding bill has been allocated so far. Outside the paywall! 🔓 politico.com/news/2022/11/0…

@zackstanton What a magnificent remembrance, Zack. She must have been immensely proud of you.
In the closing weeks of her life, surrounded by her husband and children, her words were sometimes unintelligible. But the affection behind them was apparent. Her love was something: She gave it away; she ended up having more.
Her sweet tooth (strawberry rhubarb pie, key lime pie, anything baked by Gerri Mack) lasted until the end, even as early-onset Alzheimer's stripped her world down to studs. She was 66 years old.
She loved music and playing the guitar, and could often be found singing harmonies along to Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, Arlo Guthrie or CSN.
She developed a superhuman ability to see the good in everyone. She was a mentor to dozens, a mother figure of sorts to dozens more. (“She was like magic to me,” one told Beth’s family shortly before she passed.)
She chauffeured them to extracurriculars and never missed a baseball game or band concert, attending not out of a sense of obligation but because she cared deeply when something mattered to those she loved.
Her children were the center of her life. She nourished their creativity with dress-up parties, talent shows and imagined stories at bedtime.
Tom was immediately drawn to her dancing blue eyes (which lasted until the end), and she to his luxuriant brown hair (which did not).
As the director of New Baltimore Public Library, she opened it up as a community space. Her decision to welcome local kids who wanted to use the meeting room to play “Dungeons and Dragons” led one local pastor to campaign for her firing. (He was unsuccessful.)
My mom, Beth Bagley-Stanton, died yesterday, the end of a life that brought joy to so many others. A thread about her:
