๐ Elevating Real People in Down Ballot Elections
In Conversation with Dallas Harris, Nevada State Senate Candidate
Table of Contents
Hi Yโall! ๐๐ฝ
Iโve been on the road in Southwest swing states for almost a month! Iโve been lucky enough to meet some amazing local and state candidates who are just real people who are working hard and caring for their communities. It has been refreshing to find when the pundits want us to believe theyโre all crooked!

I was lucky enough to have a casual sit-down conversation with Dallas Harris, Nevada State Senator, at her office at the Nevada Nevada Legislature building. You can find our awesome tees on YouTube if you want to watch the interview. In our 20 minute chat, we covered:
- What Dallas Harris has already done for Nevadans and what she hopes to do in her next term
- How sheโs dealt with GOP government inaction firsthand to support her community
- Why down-ballot races are so crucial for our daily lives
- The case for Millennials and Gen Z to go vote!
- Addressing the economic angst in the country and the Democratโs closing economic message
- The amazing organizations and support networks for women, people of color, and queer folks running for office like Sister District Project (how we met!)
