Longtime friend of the show and stalwart progressive Karl Frisch is running for local office against a Trump-loving Republican! His people-powered campaign for Fairfax County School Board in Northern Virginia needs our help to get his new digital ad skewering Betsy DeVos in front of Democrats and progressives who sometimes skip local elections. Join me by chipping in $10, $25, or whatever you can to help get Karl's message in front of voters so he can win on November 5. See the ad and contribute: KarlFrisch.com/Thom4Karl
