We are happy to see that last week, Sheila Smoot got enough votes to be in a run-off next month for the AL-07 race.

Due to one candidate dropping out of a race, and three candidates losing in their primary, the candidate pool is down to 29 candidates. We are so proud of the effort that Lt. Gov. Bill Halter gave against Sen. Blanche Lincoln.

The 29 currently in the pool are:
Alan Grayson (Florida 8th)
André Carson (Indiana 7th)
Barbara Boxer(California Senate)
Billy Kennedy(North Carolina 5th)
Carol Shea-Porter(New Hampshire 1st)
Elaine Marshall (North Carolina Senate)
Jack Conway (Kentucky Senate)
Jim McGovern(Massachusetts 3rd)
Joe Sestak (Pennsylvania Senate)
John Hall (New York 19th)
John Yarmuth (Kentucky 3rd)
Jonathan Tasini (New York 15th)
Justin Coussoule (Ohio 8th)
Keith Ellison(Minnesota 5th)
Kendrick Meek (Florida Senate)
Kirsten Gillibrand (New York Senate)
Lois Herr (Pennsylvania 16th)
Mac D’Alessandro (Massachusetts 9th)
Manan Trivedi (Pennsylvania 6th)
Paul Hodes (New Hampshire Senate)
Regina Thomas (Georgia 12th)
Rodney Glassman (Arizona Senate)
Roxanne Conlin (Iowa Senate)
Sheila Smoot (Alabama 7th)
Suzan DelBene (Washington 8th)
Tarryl Clark (Minnesota 6th)
Tom Hayhurst (Indiana 3rd)
Tom Perriello (Virginia 5th)
