We're running towards the runoff election happening May 26! 🏃‍♀️

This year’s runoff includes major races for U.S. Senate, attorney general, and Congress, but runoff turnout is usually much lower than the primary. That means the people who show up have a huge impact on who advances to November.

Plan your route now:
🗳️ Early voting: May 18–22
🗳️ Runoff Election Day: May 26
