November 8, 2016 - Bernie Sanders was no longer in the running in the presidential election Tuesday, but some local activists inspired by his campaign regrouped to win a state representative seat.
The Sanderistas coalesced behind the campaign of first-time candidate Joshua Elliott, a Democrat who Tuesday won the vacant 88th state General Assembly District seat.

November 7, 2016 - When candidates in the only competitive local race knocked on doors this weekend, they heard about more than just local worries.
