Which political races should climate advocates focus on to get the most bang for their buck? (Hint: not the presidency.) Caroline Spears of Climate Cabinet explains how her organization uses data science to identify state and local races with high potential to impact climate progress.
Brilliant. Moneyball is strangely one of my favorite movies even though I don't follow baseball. I love the spirit of the scrappy manager from the low-budget team using stats to assemble a player lineup that beats the wealthier teams -- all in the face of opposition from the old-boys club. Doing the same for climate candidates is brilliant, addressing our consistent failure to appreciate the strategic value of down-ballot races.
Nicely done and many thanks for your work. Appreciated this sharp focus on state level races, the questions about intersectionality and her response that everything is connected when it comes to climate, especially housing and transit.
Really, really enjoyed this episode. I've noticed my favorite episodes are the ones that hit the sweet spot of climate, politics, and local. Awesome seeing a group throw some real money at these targeted candidates....now I'm eagerly awaiting if they have any Wisconsin Assembly candidates earmarked for support. With Wisconsin legislative maps that are FINALLY a bit more fair, the Dems have a a real chance at taking the Assembly for the first time in 12 years.

I made a map of the 3 Pennsylvania state senate seat they are supporting.

Do you know where I might meet supporters for these candidates online?

I'm struggling with trying to connect with these campaigns.
