Jamaal Howard, a Texas death row inmate convicted of a fatal 2000 robbery, could be the first person put to death in the country since a failed execution in Tennessee that has raised alarm over lethal injection. bit.ly/3VxCpME

It has been months in the making, but today I launched the 2026 Midterms Candidate Due Diligence website. midterms.theleahfiles.com For far too long we have not had a comprehensive side-by-side picture of who is funding our candidates, who pays for them to get elected, their stance on issues we care about, and many more important factors. So, I built what I could not find: a page for every single person on your ballot, showing exactly who is paying for them. Pick your state and you get your voting rules, issues on your specific ballot this midterm, a map of your congressional districts, the measures on your ballot and what they actually do, and a profile on all 2,517 candidates for governor, Senate and House. For each candidate it shows where their money came from and who wrote the checks, what outside groups spent for them and against them, the companies and nonprofits they own out of their own financial disclosure, and where they stand on the issues with the vote or the quote behind it. Every number links back to the filing it came from. If something is missing or something is wrong, tell me and I will fix it. Finalizing some of the smaller elections now, but it's 80% done. It is free and the site doesn't ask for donations. But if you would like to support my work you can subscribe to my Substack (link in bio) or buy me a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/theleahfile… I hope you enjoy!
