Harry Styles to play 15 consecutive nights in battleground states as MSG residency comes to an end.

Just kidding. But wouldn’t it be cool if he did?!? Forget the British parliament and come fix our democracy, Harry xoxo.

Even though Harry’s not hitting the ground for GOTV, new Data for Progress polling in Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada finds that all three states’ Senate and Gubernatorial races remain incredibly close.

A poll of likely voters in Arizona finds Sen. Mark Kelly has a 1 percent lead over Blake Masters. In Georgia, Data for Progress finds Sen. Raphael Warnock is currently tied with Republican Herschel Walker, with both candidates currently earning 46% support from statewide likely voters.

Data for Progress also finds Nevada likely voters are tied in the upcoming gubernatorial election — 45% to 45% — among Democratic candidate Steve Sisolak and Republican candidate Joe Lombardo.

Here are some other highlights from DFP this week:

Okay serious question. Congress really wants to invest in wildlife conservation. You ok with that? DEAD serious.

While we can’t say for sure how Sumner Stroh feels about Adam Levine naming his baby Sumner Jr., we do know that voters overwhelmingly support the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA).

A new poll ([link removed]) by Data for Progress finds that eighty-six percent of voters support RAWA and investing in efforts at the local level to save wildlife, including 92 percent of Democrats, 85 percent of Independents, and 83 percent of Republicans.

Mayor Bob the Builder (of economic stability for working families)

This week, Mayor Robert Garcia of Long Beach, California joined the Data for Progress Blog to make the case for a guaranteed income program as a key element of any plan to eradicate poverty and discussed the successful pilot program that he ran in Long Beach.

Newpolling ([link removed]) from Data for Progress shows that 61 percent of Americans (including 82 percent of Democrats, 59 percent of Independents, and 41 percent of Republicans) support a guaranteed income program providing monthly direct cash payments to those in need.

But wait, there’s more!

When voters are given more information about the structure and specific features of a guaranteed income program, support rises across the board. A majority (63 percent) of likely voters overall support such a program, with 83 percent of Democrats, 61 percent of Independents, and 44 percent of Republicans indicating support.

Dems Deliver

When we think of Oregon, there are three main things that come to mind: Sabrina Ionescu humbling men everywhere ([link removed]) , Fred Armisen trying to eat brunch ([link removed]) , and the fact that we’re probably pronouncing it wrong. (Here’s a cute little instructional video ([link removed]) by Oregon Governor Kate Brown. We’re so sorry if we ever disappointed you, bestie.)

While those are all very crucial characteristics, the Biden administration wants us to think of one more thing when it comes to the beaver state: infrastructure. Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill, $62 million will be allocated to repair Tillamook Bay’s South Jetty. The Port of Garibaldi and Tillamook County Commissioners have been advocating for these repairs since 2009, so this is a big deal! The problems with the jetty have impacted local residents, commercial fisherman, and tourists, so the funding will go a long way to improve their lives. You can read more about the project here ([link removed]) . Thanks, Dems! You’re doing great, sweetie!

With the midterms right around the corner, let’s take a moment to remember all of the jetties that have been fixed and waterways that have been repaired. Oregonians, let’s not flip flop and vote for agovernor who enjoys spending time with Mike Pompeo ([link removed]) (sorry, did someone say MAGA Republican, Christine Drazan?). Let’s stick with the Democrats. They’ll have your back and invest in jetties.
