Hi everyone—just checking in to let you know that Primary School is back and the first issue on Ghost can be accessed here. There’s a lot to cover: there are items on Andrew Cuomo’s return in New York City’s mayoral race, the wild New Jersey gubernatorial election including the ICE arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, the Chicago congressional race upended by the candidacy of journalist/influencer Kat Abughazaleh, competitive Senate primaries brewing in Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota, a slew of age- and seniority-related House primaries, and something very strange with my own state senator’s campaign finance reports. Next week, you can expect a lot more on 2026’s gubernatorial races, plus updates from this week (there’s already been major news in the Illinois Senate primary since I published, for example.)
Please, if you’ve enjoyed Primary School in the past, subscribe and share—I can’t do this without you, my wonderful readers. Thanks for reading, and welcome back.
