Aaron Ford spent years fighting for working families by taking on corporate landlords, opioid manufacturers, and price-gouging corporations. Now, he’s ready to continue the fight as governor.

Hear an exclusive message on Aaron’s vision for Nevada: win.dnc.org/substack

An image of Aaron Ford appears at the top. Below text reads, "Aaron Ford: "Nevada Gave Me A Chance When I Needed One. As Nevada’s first Black Attorney General and former State Senate Majority Leader, Aaron Ford has spent his career fighting for working families, taking on corporate landlords, opioid manufacturers, and price-gouging corporations.

Now, he’s ready to continue that fight as governor. Hear a direct message from Aaron Ford about his vision for Nevada exclusively for The Blue Print. TheBluePrint.Substack.com." In the bottom right, a donkey appears next to the Substack logo."

As I told the Canyon County Democrats: We have the momentum heading to November—but momentum doesn’t get people to the polls.

We do. Help get out the vote for Democrats at democrats.org/act.

My friend Terri Pickens is running for governor in Idaho, and I was thrilled to join her on the trail today.

There’s no such thing as a permanent red state. That’s why we’re investing in all 50 state parties. Please give today to help Terri finish strong: terriforidaho.com.

I was excited to speak to Democrats in Idaho before knocking doors with two fantastic Democrats running for the Idaho state legislature, Amanda and Karlie Easley.

When you organize everywhere, you can win anywhere. Help Democrats get out the vote: democrats.org/act.

I was thrilled to chat with Boise Mayor Lauren McLean this morning.

With 24 days until Election Day, Democrats are not ceding one county, precinct, or voter. Early voting in Idaho starts soon. Check your registration and make your plan to vote at IWillVote.com.

I'm horrified by the news of another mass shooting in our country. My family and I join the Erie community in mourning the nine Pennsylvanians who lost their lives in this tragedy.

Think of what is possible in 25 days:

Democrats can flip the House, win back the Senate, and end Trump’s agenda.

That can only happen if you vote. Make your plan to vote on or before November 3: IWillVote.com

I was honored to be with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and UNITE HERE Local 26 on the picket line today as they fight for fair wages, better health benefits, and job security. We are in the fight with organized labor to ensure the American Dream is achievable for all working people.

As I travel the country helping elect Democrats up and down the ballot, I’ll be talking to candidates YOU can elect to fight to lower costs and make your life better. I talked to Peter Hubbard about why he is running for reelection and how he plans to help lower Georgians’ utility costs.

Spent the day down in Atlanta getting out the vote for Democrats up and down the ballot, like Peter Hubbard, who is running for reelection to the Georgia Public Service Commission. You can feel the energy: Georgia is ready to make history this November.

Spent the day down in Atlanta getting out the vote for Jon Ossoff, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Georgia Democrats. 26 days. All gas, no brakes.

@kenmartin.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 5:10 PM

Don’t believe a poll that has Democrats ahead any more than you believe a poll that has us behind. 26 days until Election Day. Run through the tape.

Donald Trump doesn’t get to turn the federal government into his personal campaign operation, and he sure as hell doesn’t get to make taxpayers foot the bill.

Using public dollars for partisan propaganda isn’t governing. It’s an abuse of power.

We’re taking him to court.

See you in court, Donald.

Today marks three years since the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. On October 7, we mourn the innocent men, women, and children whose lives were stolen. We remember those who lost their lives, stand with the survivors and the families forever changed, and pray for a lasting peace.

@kenmartin.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 3:55 PM

I say it all the time: When you organize everywhere, you can win anywhere. That’s what we’ve done with our investments in our state parties. They are rebuilding our connection to voters, and it's working. We’ve got 27 days to bring it home.

RFK Jr. said he wanted to disrupt public health. Apparently that meant resurrecting measles and letting kids pay the price.

@kenmartin.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 7:05 PM

American ranchers lose their ass so Donald Trump can save his. ‘America First’ apparently means flooding the market with foreign beef when it’s convenient, while the people who actually raise cattle here get stuck with the bill. Funny how the sacrifice is always yours and the benefit is always his.
