Tonight's debate is at 7pm. GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE ALEC ROSS.

David, We’ve got another debate tonight, and we’re excited for folks to be able to see why Alec is a different kind of candidate. Most Democratic primaries have candidates indistinguishable from each other, repeating the same talking points, like they are just checking off the boxes. Some of the other candidates are running their campaign following the same playbook. Time and time again, Alec has proven he’s not going to be that kind of candidate and he’s not going to be that kind of Governor—but instead someone who has bold ideas, listens and responds to voters and their very real concerns, and is ready to lead. See it for yourself, tonight at 7pm on News Channel 8 in the Washington DC area and CW54 in Baltimore. Thank you, Julie Verratti

Call for Nominations: Prize for Excellence and Innovation in Philosophy Programs.

Dear DAVID, The American Philosophical Association (APA) and the Philosophy Documentation Center (PDC) invite nominations for the 2018 Prize for Excellence and Innovation in Philosophy Programs. The deadline to submit nominations is June 30. The APA and the PDC established this annual prize in 1999 to recognize philosophy departments, research centers, institutes, societies, publishers, and other organizations for creating programs that risk undertaking new initiatives in philosophy and do so with excellence and success. It honors the success of these programs so they may inspire and influence others to follow their lead. Any APA member may nominate a program, and the nomination must be supported by at least three statements. For more details about this prize—including the benefit to the winner, a list of previous winners, and the nomination form—please visit the APA’s Prize for Excellence and Innovation in Philosophy Programs page.

Was just on CNN this weekend! CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE PAT RYAN.

Hi David -- At a meet and greet a woman told me over the last few elections, she's felt like she's voting against someone, but after seeing our first ad, she said that I'm someone she feels like she can vote for. This is what my campaign is all about -- being a candidate who folks can be proud to stand with. Our first TV commercial has gotten a lot of attention since we released it -- it's now been viewed over 1/2 million times and folks have been stopping me on the street to talk about it. Momentum is building. Because of that attention, over the weekend, CNN invited me on New Day with Alisyn Camerota to talk about my views on gun violence prevention. Now, THAT clip has been viewed over 580k times! If you missed it, here's the link.

Talk soon, 

Pat

 

P.S. For those of you who have been following us from early on, we hit another milestone! We got our first Breitbart attack article against us! That’s how you know you’re doing something right!
