If you are looking for a way to identify candidates for the midterms, they are looking for volunteers in your area.

My understanding is that it is less Bernie than Bernie supporters.

Both of the people I spoke with were promoting Hillary first, then a new congress. They formed too late in the cycle to front their own candidates into consideration.

We need more opportunities like this to find and energize progressives everywhere. It will lead to more and better democrats running.
